Issue #21239 has been reported by Charlie Sharpsteen. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21239: The global --run_mode option does not work https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21239
* Author: Charlie Sharpsteen * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: settings * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 * Keywords: run_mode * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Can't find any actual documentation on the existence of [this option](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.1/lib/puppet/settings.rb#L202-L206), but it is an evolution of the `--mode` option that was present in 2.7.x. This change occurred in [f4e229e](https://github.com/Sharpie/puppet/commit/f4e229e). Currently, this option is parsed but overridden a few times during Puppet application startup: 1. `CommandLine.execute` calls `Puppet.initialize_settings` which calls `do_initialize_settings_for_run_mode(:user, args)` 2. `do_initialize_settings_for_run_mode` calls `Puppet.settings.initialize_global_settings` which consumes the `--run_mode` flag and removes it from `ARGV`. 3. `do_initialize_settings_for_run_mode` then calls `Puppet.settings.initialize_app_defaults` which overrides the value set by the option with the `:user` value passed on step 1. 4. `CommandLine.execute` then hands off to `Application.run` which re-sets the run mode to `:user` during `initialize_app_settings`. There are [some tests](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.1/spec/unit/settings_spec.rb#L1610-L1623) around the behavior of the `--run_mode` option, but they are not sufficient enough to ensure this setting survives application initialization. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
