I am trying to test stand alone puppet manifests invoking /usr/bin/ puppet. Is there a way to override current hostname with some other value? I have tried with no success: FACTER_hostname=foo /usr/bin/puppet manifest.pp Regards, Thomas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

So you can test things by doing something otherwise odd like: node default { $hostname = ''testname'' include test::class } -- Bruce A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now feeling as miserable as you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Thanks Bruce, very helpful!
Actually I needed to run it in the loop for several hosts (as a part
of testing exercise).
I ended up with combination of bash scripting and small line for the
defaults node that gets re-created for each test/host:
#puppet call with root-level manifest
rm -rfv $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
cp -v $confdir/manifests/site.pp $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
echo "node default inherits $hostname_override { \$hostname
"$hostname_override" } " >> $confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
puppet -dv --detailed-exitcodes --confdir=$confdir --vardir=$vardir
$confdir/manifests/_tmp.pp
Not most elegant but works ...

I''ve run in to a similar thing. I think you can set --fqdn when running puppetd, you might look in to that. As for us, we aren''t using hostnames to select which configuration manifests to apply. We built a little module called custom_facts, which does nothing more but read a small little file called custom_facts.yml on the puppet clients, which then gets switched on in a big case statement in manifest.pp If you''re interested, I can provide more info about that solution.
