Hi all,
I'm working two Environment tickets:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3517
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2834
I was reminded that I made the decision not to require site.pp any
more - if you're using an external node classifier and modules, then
this file would often end up empty, so it makes no sense to require it.
However, I just realized an annoying repercussion of this fact: We
now can't easily tell if an environment is real or fat-fingered.
At least, this is true if you're using node constructs -- if you're
using an external node classifier, I assume it would refer to classes
which Puppet wouldn't be able to look up because the module path
wouldn't resolve correctly.
Normally you'd require that site.pp exist, and then it would have node
information that resulted in classes being looked up in the module
path, etc.
So, the question becomes, is this a bug? I assume so, but I don't
know how to fix it. What defines whether an environment exists?
We used to require environments be strictly listed, but we stopped
that at the request of the community.
Now it's just "if you ask for something and it doesn't exist, then the
environment doesn't exist", which isn't very specific, and can make it
very difficult to figure out whether you've got a fat-finger or not.
Ideas? Comments?
