tagmail module doesn't work with puppet 4

[Ken Bowley]

While I ignore puppet 4's brain-dead stupid fact behaviour when using puppetdb, I'm on to the issue of getting puppet to mail reports when something changes on a node.

Since the built-in tagmail is no longer an option, I decided to look at the tagmail module.  As far as I can tell, the puppetlabs-tagmail module can NOT be used with puppet 4.1.

tagmail requires 'tagmap' to be set in puppet.conf, but 'tagmap' is not one of the core configuration items, and puppet 4.1 does not allow extensions to add config options, so puppet ignores the 'tagmap' setting and tagmail errors out when it attempts to process the report.

I managed to get it to work by editing tagmail.rb and hard coding any of the areas where it tries to use Puppet[:*] config options that don't exist and can not work with puppet 4.1.

I am seeing this too. I've filed a bug report at https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-2117
