Puppet / PUP-8018 ENC option to run catalog in noop mode Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Components: Settings Created: 2017/10/03 8:16 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Pat Riehecky Currently the ENC can provide the environment to the client. However, when testing a new environment on a client the workflow can result in running the catalog before I'm ready. Example workflow: 1. disable puppet on the client 2. build testing environment on the puppet master 3. configure the ENC to send the new environment 4. enable puppet in noop mode on the client If step 1 is not complete, the client may apply the catalog. This may also be useful in another workflow: if puppet needs to be temporarily disabled on a host. Puppet can set noop=true via a catalog run, but once this is done, there isn't a way to undo that without manual intervention. Add Comment

Currently the ENC can provide the environment to the client.  However, when testing a new environment on a client the workflow can result in running the catalog before I'm ready. Example workflow: 1. disable puppet on the client 2. build testing environment on the puppet master 3. configure the ENC to send the new environment 4. enable puppet in noop mode on the client If step 1 is not complete, the client may apply the catalog. This may also be useful in another workflow: if puppet needs to be temporarily disabled on a host.  Puppet can set noop=true via a catalog run, but once this is done, there isn't a way to undo that without manual intervention.

Re: ENC option to run catalog in noop mode Puppet supports an agent specified workflow, which puppet enterprise describes here: https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2019.8/environment_based_testing.html The idea is that you can configure the ENC to allow the agent to choose which environment to use. Background agent runs will continue to use the old environment, while you can run puppet agent -t --environment <feature> to test new changes. I think you'd want to implement something like that in your ENC. Note you'd want to make sure only select nodes can choose their own environment, based on trusted facts. I'm going to close this as the requested functionality is a bit out of scope for open source.
