---------------------------------------- Bug #21682: puppet agent --test fails when run before puppet daemon obtains signed cert from master https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21682#change-94770 * Author: Raghavendra Rachamadugu * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Urgent * Assignee: Raghavendra Rachamadugu * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Thanks for posting the agent backtrace. It definitely clarifies that file permissions may not be the immediate cause of the problem. What appears to be happening is that the agent is preparing to create configuration files and directories and calls up the "puppet user" `pe-puppet`: <pre> # puppet/settings.rb:713 user = Puppet::Type.type(:user).new :name => self[:user], :audit => :ensure @service_user_available = user.exists? </pre> However, it looks like the `user.exists?` call is failing because the provider for that user object is getting set to `nil` for some reason.
