Issue #20350 has been updated by Ken Barber. Description updated
---------------------------------------- Bug #20350: Puppet catalog transfer often gets truncated (Could not intern from pson: error) https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20350#change-89852 * Author: Jeff Bearer * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- I submitted this question to puppet-users (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/puppet-users/oA_bB_3k4i0/Jd5slFiGZw4J) and was urged to file a ticket on this. Here it is. I've been hitting this issue for a long time. well over a year and finally had some time to work on a resolution. I've seen what looks like my problem reported several times in the past but I've never seen a resolution found for this exact problems. There are other root causes for pson errors that have been resolved, but not for the ones describing my problem. What we're finding is that often times the catalog is getting chopped off at some seemingly random point in the file. If you run puppet agent multiple times in a row each time it will cut off at always different parts. The error manifests itself like this: <pre> Debug: node supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson Debug: Using cached certificate for ca Debug: Using cached certificate for ds0.lab.avere.net Debug: Using cached certificate_revocation_list for ca Info: Retrieving plugin Debug: file_metadata supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml pson raw yaml; using pson Debug: Finishing transaction 70037484276920 Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/serialports.rb Debug: catalog supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml dot pson raw yaml; using pson Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: expected value in object at '"Ssh_authorized_key['! Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run </pre> It's not uncommon to run this 'puppet agent -t' 8 times in a row, and getting a different quoted error part until one time it completes. Here is a repro where I ran it one after another, the first 2 worked, 3 failed, and the 6th worked. <pre> [root@host0 ~]# puppet agent -t Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/serialports.rb Info: Caching catalog for ds0.lab.avere.net Info: Applying configuration version '1366164490' Notice: Finished catalog run in 13.20 seconds [root@host0 ~]# puppet agent -t Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/serialports.rb Info: Caching catalog for ds0.lab.avere.net Info: Applying configuration version '1366164490' Notice: Finished catalog run in 12.32 seconds [root@host0 ~]# puppet agent -t Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/serialports.rb Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: expected ',' or ']' in array at ''!

One question that I do have is how to I see the contents of what is sent over pson? Specifically to get a handle on what is happening here: <pre> Debug: catalog supports formats: b64_zlib_yaml dot pson raw yaml; using pson Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: expected value in object at '"Ssh_authorized_key['! </pre> Thanks -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
