Puppet users - Aug 2008 - overriding environment settings seems not to work in 0.24.5

Hello,

I''m currently testing the new 0.24.5 version in our environment. For 
this I upgraded a single client to 0.24.5, puppetmaster still remains on 
0.24.4. Maybe there is already a ticket open for this, but redmine is 
down since hours (mod_proxy error...).

Like noted here [1], in 0.24.5 the default environment has been changed 
to "production". Well, I have overwritten this in puppet.conf by the 
following configuration entries:

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=true
environments=prodprod
environment=prodprod

But when I now invoke puppet manually by "puppetd --test", I get a lot
of error messages all complaining about environment settings:

 >> resources during transaction: Invalid environment production from
 >> parameters

But I can not find out, where it again gets the not existing 
"production" environment. This is a fresh client, so there
wasn''t any
residue from earlier versions.

Someone noted the same?

Cheers,
Andreas

It''s up now.  Apologies - not sure what''s happening there. 
Rails is
being its usual helpful self in that regard but I think it''s fixed.

You mean prodprod? Yes I did so, same error messages.

Funny, in the meantime it started to work. Maybe it gets cached 
somehwere...?

If I manually run puppetd on a clean installation, without a proper 
configured puppet.conf, I get certainly the invalid environment messages.
Then I adept puppet.conf, add ''environments'' and
''environment'' and
invoke puppetd again:

err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources 
during transaction: Invalid environment production from parameters
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of 
resource: Invalid environment production from parameters

Calling it now a third time, it works. Confusing...

Regards,
Andreas

BTW, you should always upgrade your server before the clients.  The
server will be backwards compatible.

I have done so now - puppetmaster is at 0.24.5. I still see the error  
on the first run (a fresh upgraded 0.24.4->0.24.5 client),

err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional  
resources during transaction: ''production'' is not a valid
environment
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of  
resource: ''production'' is not a valid environment Could not
describe
/plugins: ''production'' is not a valid environment

but then, for any further run it seems to work.

The not-yet-upgraded clients (mostly 0.24.4) do not suffer these  
messages while fetching from the newly upgraded 0.24.5 puppetmaster.

Cheers,
Andreas

just a stupid question, your environments sections is under main or
puppetmaster?

if its under puppetmaster, the puppetd will ignore it.

Yes it is in main, on some older clients it is in the [puppetd]  
section - but that worked too for a long time.

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=true
environments=prodprod,prodtest,devel
environment=prodprod

[puppetd]
server=puppet.test.com

[puppetmasterd]
templatedir=/var/lib/puppet/templates

Andreas
