I just tried using the REST API to pull the file metadata and noticed that the environment is not part of the API for files:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html Does that mean that it will not respect my environments for the following: file { 'test': source => 'puppet:///modules/somemodule/test' } If not then which "environment" from the puppet.conf does it use? [main]? Thanks. -eric On Dec 9, 8:12 pm, Eric Snow <es...@verio.net> wrote: > I get the following error: > > ...
