Issue #16672 has been updated by Forrest Aldrich.
Here are the error messages that the above will generage: Oct 1 16:55:46 central puppet-agent[26980]: Could not autoload puppet/indirector/certificate/rest: Invalid duration format '"900 # 15 mins"' for parameter: runinterval Oct 1 16:55:46 central puppet-agent[26980]: Could not prepare for execution: Could not autoload puppet/indirector/certificate/rest: Invalid duration format '"900 # 15 mins"' for parameter: runinterval ---------------------------------------- Bug #16672: Puppet comments generate errors if not at ^beginning of line https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16672#change-72129 Author: Forrest Aldrich Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: puppet.conf comments Branch: Unlike previous versions, the ability to add a comment in Puppet 3.0 to puppet.conf appears restricted to single line entry, which prevents comments like: runinterval = 500 # comment where during the upgrade this causes the client to choke and exit with an error that points to rest.rb. This is the fix: # comment runinterval = 500 Puppet should be able to parse out comments at the end of a line, after the position of a hash tag. Since this behavior appears to have changed, I presume it was introduced during the refactoring of 3.0 and thus should probably be fixed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
