I'm not understanding what benefit having the $environment interpolate is giving you here, since $environment is already selected to get to environment.conf, the path is already pre-determined. It was PUP-3162 where we ultimately decided to whitelist for $environment interpolation, and the only setting that made the cut was config_version. I don't think we want to change that because it makes the pathing harder to think about and may have other unforeseen consequences in the settings and environment handling. -Josh - henrik > > > -- > > Visit my Blog "Puppet on the Edge" > http://puppet-on-the-edge.blogspot.se/ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-dev+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > msgid/puppet-dev/mdkgbj%242b4%241%40ger.gmane.org. > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Josh Partlow jpart...@puppetlabs.com Developer, Puppet Labs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
