Sadly, yes, that's how it works. I'm guessing it was easier to implement this as a global variable since we don't really have a service locator or what have you to cleanly get a handle on the runmode instance. Also, please note that unless there's a documented, public method, if you implement these behaviors yourself and we change the internal behaviors in a bugfix or minor release, we make no guarantees about preserving compatibility with the external world. The best way forward on this is to submit a pull request that defines the public API method you're looking for in Puppet 2.7.x _and_ 3.x. If there's a documented, public method that you're depending on, then we'll maintain compatibility. If there's not, and you're digging into the internal behaviors, then all bets are off. I mention this because I'd hate to see another broken integration when we release a future version of Puppet. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
