Thanks Jeff. That was the issue. The pastebin logs do indicate 'using
cached catalog' message.
I am manually starting/stopping puppetd for these tests. I started it
again without '--test' option but this time it couldn't retrieve
(cached) catalog. It failed (or rather skipped catalog run) with
following messages:
{{{
Apr 9 16:15:11 one-23 puppet-agent[24242]: Could not retrieve catalog
from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: validate_re(): "mysq" does
not match ["mysql", "sqlite"] at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/
teststdlib.pp:5 on node one-23...
Apr 9 16:15:11 one-23 puppet-agent[24242]: Using cached catalog
Apr 9 16:15:11 one-23 puppet-agent[24242]: Could not retrieve
catalog; skipping run
}}}
If I use '--test' option then I get 'error 400' immediately and
puppetd doesn't get started as well.
Since it once worked for me even without '--test' option I am
wondering how long does a node keep cache? Is cache dependent on any
factors other than time interval?
