I've actually always considered this to be relatively comprehensible. Client and server start with a clean slate. Client requests module X Server parses module X via autoloading, complains about parse error. Client requests module X Server tells you it can't find it as it's not going to reattempt parsing unless the file changes. Does it really impact upon debugging that much? What do you think makes more sense? To not present the parsing error to the client at all? Or to continuously try and parse manifests even though the server thinks that they have a parse error? I can't think of an answer that is obviously more correct than the current behaviour in this situation, which is why I'm asking what you think should happen. > > Doug. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
