Failing ENC effort - a little help?

[jblaine]

Master puppet.conf has:

node_terminus = exec

external_nodes = /etc/puppet/hostdb-ENC.py

Master reports:

err: Could not find node 'rcf-cm-test.our.org'; cannot compile

ENC tests fine by my eyes, but perhaps my YAML is invalid?  It tests out fine

at http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

Testing the ENC with rcf-cm-test.our.org:

# /etc/puppet/hostdb-ENC.py rcf-cm-test.our.org

---

classes:

- testclass

parameters:

  puppetserver: rcf-cm-master.our.org

#

[jblaine]

This is Puppet 2.7.3, FWIW.

As far as I can see, this is really broken somehow.

This ENC below gives the same 'Could not find node' error even when spitting canned

information back:

#!/bin/sh

echo<<END

---

classes:

  - foo

END

exit 0

puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose --debug reports:

debug: Executing '/etc/puppet/hostdb-ENC.sh rcf-cm-test.our.org'

debug: Empty response for rcf-cm-test.our.org from exec exec terminus

I guess you want to replace "echo" with "cat"?

[jblaine]

Indeed.

Now if I could figure out why the simple Python output is rejected from the 1st message.

At least I know *something* functions now though.

Problem solved.  Turns out the Python code was failing only as user puppet because of a

fricking PYTHON_EGG_CACHE directory permission issue, and Puppet was "helpfully" hiding

all details of that until I hacked around in the Puppet source :|
