Issue #21286 has been updated by Mariusz Gronczewski. Assignee changed from Mariusz Gronczewski to eric sorenson
The most often use case is "update config without restarting 20 varnish servers and dropping their cache" Basically evertytime there is a minor change like "fix minor formatting error" or "add comments that dont suck" to config files This problem came out when we started migrating from SVN to Git and we had most files/templates tagged by SVN's $File$ (and few other) so we had to change headers on all files, but that problem comes pretty often when there is a need to update config of some service by minor option, or just fix formatting. Other reason is that it is very unexpected behaviour, for example when refactoring some old ( like created when 0.25 was newest puppet ) templates I just set service to noop and started editing it, expecting that my changes won't cause that service to restart, so I can manually check it on server if it works correctly At first I tried just running puppet with file tag so only files gets deployed, but it have same behaviour (all that is dependent on tagged resource also gets done even if they dont have that tag). ---------------------------------------- Bug #21286: noop => true is ignored when resource is triggered by other resource https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21286#change-95075 * Author: Mariusz Gronczewski * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: High * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: transactions * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: refresh noop * Branch: ---------------------------------------- when running : file {'/tmp/asd': content => generate('/bin/date'), notify => Exec['ttt'], } exec { 'ttt': command =>'/bin/date', logoutput => true, noop => true, } exec is still ran even tho it's set to noop, any notify to resource makes it ignore noop parameter: Notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/asd]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}2f61ea5f548d9cfcda74e24a547dfa86' Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ttt]/returns: current_value notrun, should be 0 (noop) Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ttt]/returns: Tue Jun 18 14:12:15 CEST 2013 Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ttt]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.99 seconds -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
