Issue #22852 has been updated by Reinhard Vicinus.
Status changed from Needs More Information to Needs Decision
Affected Puppet version changed from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2
Hi,
i have found the cause for this issue. After learning, that --trace will print
a trace of the error (I throught --debug would do this), it was simple to find
the culprit: puppetlabs/dashboard
For a more informative error message i would suggest to replace the line 36 in
the file puppet/interface/option.rb from:
<pre><code class="ruby">
raise ArgumentError, "#{item.inspect}: already defined in puppet"
</code></pre>
to:
<pre><code class="ruby">
raise ArgumentError, "Option #{item.inspect} of #{@parent}: already defined in
puppet"
</code></pre>
The resulting message is a lot more informative:
<pre>
Error: Option "--name=" of Puppet::Face[:dashboard, v0.0.1]#create_node:
already defined in puppet
</pre>
The question remains if this is a bug in puppet or the puppet dashboard module.
Need options to be global unique or is the dashboard face using the option
functionality wrong?

----------------------------------------
All puppet agents i have updated from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 show on "puppet help" only
the following error message:
Error: "--name=": already defined in puppet
Error: Try 'puppet help help help' for usage
The same error is shown with all "puppet man xyz" commands, but "puppet help
xyz" seems to work with all commands.
