Hello, I''ve been testing puppet on windows 8.1 to distribute packages across our network. Unfortunately, it appears to crash intermittently. I run the puppet help command from the command line and it works about a quarter of the time. Other times it simply gives no output, which I assume is it crashing. Unfortunately I have been unable to find anything in any logs and the ruby verbose parameter gives exactly the same output for times when it crashes and times when it doesn''t. Any thoughts?

Jason, Can you provide details? What version of puppet? MSI or gem? If gem, what version of ruby? Also, can you run something known to fail with --trace --debug --verbose and post the output here?

Of course, sorry. Puppet 3.3.1 installed from an MSI, I believe the ruby version is 1.9.2, but I''m not 100% on that. As for the output, literally it has no output at all. For example C:\Scratch> puppet help --verbose --debug --trace C:\Scratch> With only a moment''s delay between the two. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Jason, Sorry, I meant applying a catalog or running something that causes puppet to crash in a visible way. Apologies for the miscommunication.

Well, that is exactly the issue. It doesn''t appear to crash in a visible way, there is simply no output for any command I give it. Although, every once in a while, it appears to work normally and shows output as expected. 90% of the time, the command hangs for a second or two then returns me to the command prompt with no output whatsoever. For example C:\Scratch> puppet apply test.pp --debug --verbose --trace C:\Scratch> Actually to make it even weirder, I think I might have been wrong about it crashing. For example when I run a simple manifest, file { ''C:\Scratch\foo.txt'': ensure => present, content => ''bar, } The command prompt looks like this: C:\Scratch> puppet apply test.pp --debug --verbose --trace C:\Scratch> However, when I do a dir, I see that the file has indeed been created.

That is interesting. It appears that the log output is not showing up on your console. What console are you using? Can you verify this is happening on more than one machine?

I am using the "start command prompt with puppet" command. I was able to verify this happening on both a physical machine and on a vm. However, after my initial question, we obtained and installed the release version of windows 8.1 and this seems to no longer be an issue. Perhaps something funky was happening with Windows 8.1 preview. Thanks for your time. Jason On Friday, October 18, 2013 1:24:24 PM UTC-4, Rob Reynolds wrote:> > That is interesting.

Good to hear that it was resolved with the RTM. :) On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 2:13 PM, Jason Bray <jbray.1982@gmail.com> wrote:> I am using the "start command prompt with puppet" command.
