I figured out how to get puppet to install nginx through the puppet
provider without running it as root.
someone on IRC suggested I add "logoutput => on_failure"
exec { "brew_install_nginx":
command => "/usr/local/bin/brew install nginx",
creates => "/usr/local/sbin/nginx",
logoutput => on_failure,
path=>
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/Library/Aliases",
user => "push",
}
which gave me lots of handy error output.
thanks IRC.
