Issue #15187 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
A related issue is that Puppet will silently drop any debug or info message that occurs before `Puppet::Util::Log.level` is changed to `:debug` or `:info` respectively, which happens in `Application#setup_logs`. The problem is that the default loglevel is `notice`, but due to <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util/log.rb#L82> the log message is silently dropped, instead of queued for later, when a log destination has finally been determined. For some reason, we recheck the the level again <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util/log.rb#L150> <pre> $ bundle exec puppet apply -e "notice 'foo'" --debug Warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn Notice: Scope(Class[main]): foo </pre> The warning is printed because `:warning` > `:notice` However, there are some debug statements generated by the instrumentation code that are never displayed. But if you set `Puppet::Util::Log.level = :debug` in `Puppet::Util::CommandLine#execute`, you'll see: <pre> Debug: new listener called log Debug: registering instrumentation listener log Debug: new listener called performance Debug: registering instrumentation listener performance </pre> The logging system needs to queue all messages until it determines the log destination(s) and <b>log level</b>. When we do flush the queue, then we can filter out logging messages whose level is below the current log level. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15187: Some errors do not show unless in debug mode https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15187#change-93070 * Author: Luke Kanies * Status: Re-opened * Priority: Normal * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: logging * Target version: 3.3.0 * Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- I am not running the actual server, so the error should be 'cannot connect' or something. Here is the output with no debug: luke@shiruken $ puppet agent -- sever localhost ^Cluke@shiruken $ Note that it produces no output and never returns (look for another ticket on that). Here is the (abridged) output with debug: Error: Could not send report: Connection refused - connect(2) /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:67 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:101 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:553 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:542 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1035 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:857 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:103 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:103 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:85 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:177 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:188 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/request.rb:216 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:188 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/rest.rb:176 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/indirector/indirection.rb:271 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/configurer.rb:195 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/configurer.rb:189 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:44 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent/locker.rb:22 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:44 /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:230 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:44 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:118 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:42 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:83 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:41 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:175 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:175 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/agent.rb:39 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/daemon.rb:205 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/daemon.rb:167 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/daemon.rb:167 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/daemon.rb:145 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application/agent.rb:354 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application/agent.rb:309 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:342 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:436 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:342 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/util.rb:529 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/application.rb:342 /Users/luke/git/puppet/lib/puppet/util/command_line.rb:74 /Users/luke/git/puppet/bin/puppet:10 Still not a fatal error, but at least you get the output. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
