Puppet users - Jan 2009 - debugging

Here is what I''d like to do:

I''d like to run puppet and see exactly what it would do, or what it
tried to do.

Do i need to run puppet or puppetd to get that to happen?  I''ve been
trying the --verbose --parseonly options, but they have not been
working as I would expect...

You probably want to use the --noop option:

     # cat test.pp
     node kumiko
     {
         file { "/tmp/foobar": content => "gazonk"; }
     }

     # puppet --noop test.pp
     notice: //Node[kumiko]/File[/tmp/foobar]/content: is absent, should be
gazonk (noop)
