Puppet users - Oct 2011 - Problem with the 'noop' metaparameter and using the --noop flag

Hey,
I''ve stumbled across a weird thing, wanted to know if it is intentional
or
maybe a bug..

When using the ''noop'' metaparemeter inside a manifest, for
example:

file{ "/tmp/test":

ensure => file,

noop => true,

}

Running this in a normal puppet run will run this in noop like it should. 
When trying to run ''puppet agent --noop'', the --noop flag
actually reverses
the ''noop'' metaparameter in the manifest and that resource
will actually
run, which is kind of dangerous in a production environment, while testing a 
manifest and assuming noop resources will not be running..

Has this happened to anybody?

Galed.

I tried to reproduce it with puppet apply but failed. What version are
you running and do you have noop = true or noop = false in you
puppet.conf?
