Trying to understand how puppet reports errors Example of why I am asking the question (on a test setup environment)
Created a base-1 node Created 2 slave nodes that inherit from base-1 Let's call those slave1 and slave2 No errors. It all works. Created a base-2 node created a third slave that inherits from base-2. Let's call that slave3 Get an error Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate declaration: Adduser[USERNAME] is already declared in file /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/base-1.pp at line 15; cannot redeclare on node slave1 What I am trying to figure out is why the error is reported in base-1/slave-1... even though those 2 alone work until I introduce base-2/slave3. I would have expected the error to report say in slave-3.. that the adduser was already defined in base1-/slave-1.. but don't understand why it refers to base1/slave1 If I had come to this error without knowing I just added base-2 and slave3 I would be looking, possibly, at the wrong files. Is: puppet catalog find <any-node-name> the best way to "lint" after making changes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
