| We noticed that under certain circumstances, catalogs with Deferred types were breaking - e.g. specifically if we used an inline_epp inside a deferred type, the file would mis-render:

At the same time, running puppetserver with debug logging enabled yielded:

Sure enough - we had a binary file in the catalogue, which upon removal fixed both the JSON rendering error and rectified the deferred issue... This seems like a bug - somehow the rendering error was causing Deferreds to be handled badly... Thanks Nick |
