Alex Jurkiewicz commented on PUP-4535   Re: Node Classifier errors are not shown clearly to user Sorry for the slow reply. Here's an example session showing node classifier returning an error over stdout with exit code 1 and no output visible when running puppet agent: # puppet agent -t --noop --certname test Info: Creating a new SSL key for test Info: csr_attributes file loading from /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/csr_attributes.yaml Info: Creating a new SSL certificate request for test Info: Certificate Request fingerprint (SHA256): 4E:CC:0E:79:8C:4C:F0:60:14:DF:66:54:A3:01:C9:A9:F9:62:00:F8:6E:C1:B2:52:0A:4E:30:07:53:08:98:C1 Exiting; no certificate found and waitforcert is disabled # puppet cert sign --allow-dns-alt-names test Notice: Signed certificate request for test Notice: Removing file Puppet::SSL::CertificateRequest test at '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/ca/requests/test.pem' # puppet agent -t --noop --certname test Info: Caching certificate for test Info: Caching certificate for test Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Warning: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not load external node results for test: undefined method `inject' for "/software/DET/bin/netgroup forhost test":String Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed when searching for node test: Could not load external node results for test: undefined method `inject' for "/software/DET/bin/netgroup forhost test":String Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run # /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node_classifier.py test '/software/DET/bin/netgroup forhost test' exited with nonzero code 1 # echo $? 1 # /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node_classifier.py test >/dev/null # Actually, now I look at this session it seems possible the ' symbol in the error message output is causing problems. In whatever case, the user-visible error message is very weird, and has confused a few Puppet newbies on my team.
