I think this is a really bad idea because I really think Puppet has broken a lot of things recently and people use --test in automatic scripts. This is really almost always an abuse and "--no-daemonize --onetime --verbose" would probably work better, but I really don't think breaking even more things is the right choice right now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
