Possible to disable global definition outside of nodes?

[Sandra Schlichting]

Hi =)

I just made the following mistake, but puppet 2.7.19 didn't complain.

node test {
  ...
}
package { [ ... ]: ensure => present } 

So I guess all the packages became global for all nodes?

Is it possible to disable this "global definition" option, or get puppet to warn about it?

Hugs,

Sandra

Afaik, there is no way to make puppet tell you about this.
Puppet is a powerful tool and you got what you asked for :-)

What you can do is to write Rspec tests for your catalogs and use that
as a regression test.

Hope that helps.

I have now written a script that will check for this, and posted it in "Please review this node check script" =)

Sounds very interesting! Will have to look at Rspec.
