Title: Message Title

Hector Sanjuan commented on PUP-3425   Re: resource_type face search/find returns empty results It is called like this: require 'puppet' require 'puppet/face'   ...   if @puppet_version.to_f >= 3.5 Puppet.initialize_settings() Puppet[:basemodulepath] = @base_module_path configured_environment = Puppet.lookup(:environments).get('production') Puppet.push_context({:current_environment => configured_environment}) else Puppet[:modulepath] = @base_module_path end ... resource_types = Puppet::Face[:resource_type, '0.0.1'].search('*') || [] I don't know if it's a slippery road, but this has been a behaviour change from previous puppet versions which did work as expected (minor previous puppet versions - 3.5). Plus, if I remember well, puppet settings specify the production environment so it should be an intended environment (why can't it use its own settings to set up the context?). And also, I understand base modules should be loaded regardless of the environment because they don't need an environment. Any case, if not having a context is now an issue, then raise an exception with a useful message, but across Puppet it seems there is the assumption that environments are a must, and that, if they are not provided, a default production context is used, except in 3.6 Faces stopped doing it. In the end, it's not such a big deal and I think hardly anyone is affected, but it sets a bad precedent on how integrating with Faces can lead to breakage and behaviour changes across minor versions, and everytime I am forced to look at the Puppet source code to figure out why something doesn't work I find myself coming back with more questions than answers, which is a bit disheartening.
