Issue #18534 has been updated by Ryan Coleman. Assignee set to eric sorenson
The Puppet Module Tool does have a `list` action that will give you information about all the modules it finds in the modulepath(s) configured in puppet.conf and allows you to specify a list of modulepaths that you wish to inspect. While obviously this doesn't provide pro-active warnings, it is a built in tool that can help an administrator determine what's installed. I think this ticket ought to be closed. Passing to eric0 for review. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18534: Warn when multiple versions of the same module are available in the modulepath https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18534#change-94523 * Author: Josh Cooper * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The module tool tries to prevent multiple versions of the same module from being installed. But there are lots of ways that you can end up in that state, such as by installing a module using a specific modulepath (puppet module install --modulepath dirA) Then if the master is configured to use multiple modulepaths, modulepath=dirA:dirB, you can easily end up with multiple versions of the same module. This can cause unexpected breakage if the version in dirA is incompatible with respect to the one in dirB, especially when the module, e.g. stdlib, is a dependency shared by multiple modules.. See #18525. One simple thing to assist debugging this situation would be to issue a warning on the master if there are multiple versions of the same module accessible in its modulepath. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
