Puppet / PUP-8669 The `puppet help` command should list external subcommands

Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/04/19 7:36 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Charlie Sharpsteen The puppet help command lists all available subcommands that can be run via puppet <subcommand name>. However, Puppet will also dispatch to "external" subcommands that are executables in the PATH with names that match puppet-*. The help subcommand should list these as well. Reproduction Case Install the puppet-agent package on CentOS 7 along with the puppet-client-tools package, which provides some external subcommands: rpm -Uvh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet5/puppet5-release-el-7.noarch.rpm yum install -y puppet-agent puppet-client-tools   # Add bin directories to PATH source /etc/profile.d/puppet-agent.sh Run: puppet help Outcome The output of puppet help lists only Ruby subcommands: # puppet help   Usage: puppet <subcommand> [options] <action> [options]   Available subcommands:   agent The puppet agent daemon apply Apply Puppet manifests locally ca Local Puppet Certificate Authority management. (Deprecated) catalog Compile, save, view, and convert catalogs. cert Manage certificates and requests certificate Provide access to the CA for certificate management. certificate_request Manage certificate requests. (Deprecated) certificate_revocation_list Manage the list of revoked certificates. (Deprecated) config Interact with Puppet's settings. describe Display help about resource types device Manage remote network devices doc Generate Puppet references epp Interact directly with the EPP template parser/renderer. facts Retrieve and store facts. filebucket Store and retrieve files in a filebucket generate Generates Puppet code from Ruby definitions. help Display Puppet help. key Create, save, and remove certificate keys. (Deprecated) lookup Interactive Hiera lookup man Display Puppet manual pages. (Deprecated) master The puppet master daemon module Creates, installs and searches for modules on the Puppet Forge. node View and manage node definitions. parser Interact directly with the parser. plugin Interact with the Puppet plugin system. report Create, display, and submit reports. resource The resource abstraction layer shell script Run a puppet manifests as a script without compiling a catalog status View puppet server status. (Deprecated)   See 'puppet help <subcommand> <action>' for help on a specific subcommand action. See 'puppet help <subcommand>' for help on a specific subcommand. Puppet v5.5.1 Expected Outcome The puppet help output should include an "External subcommands" section which lists the actions provided by the puppet-client-tools package: # puppet help   Usage: puppet <subcommand> [options] <action> [options]   Available subcommands:   agent The puppet agent daemon apply Apply Puppet manifests locally ca Local Puppet Certificate Authority management. (Deprecated) catalog Compile, save, view, and convert catalogs. cert Manage certificates and requests certificate Provide access to the CA for certificate management. certificate_request Manage certificate requests. (Deprecated) certificate_revocation_list Manage the list of revoked certificates.

Re: The `puppet help` command should list external subcommands Should probably implement PUP-8670 first, so that puppet help can display usage for everything that it lists.
