puppet client environment is being ignored from foreman settings

[Yaniv Fine]

Hi experts .
i am runnig foreman 1
puppetmaster 2.7.18
i have setup a test client machine .
on foreman i have configured the new client to be part of the development environment .
on the client i have setup that it will run the following from site.pp to debug information .
notify { "environment":
    message => $environment


when i run on the client .
puppet agent    --test --debug --verbose

i get "Notify[environment]/message: defined 'message' as 'production'"
allthought on foreman this client is setup as "development"
when i add the
environment  = development on the client /etc/puppet.puppet.conf
the client get "Notify[environment]/message: defined 'message' as 'development'"   which is ok .

BTW in foreman => settings
i have default_puppet_environment = testing
which is beeing ignored via the client .


is this normal that i need to override the foreman client setting . with a "environment  = development on the client /etc/puppet.puppet.conf "
????


thank you

Hi Yaniv,

Do you have the environment defined in puppet.conf on the agent and use Foreman as an ENC? If so, you're probably seeing http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3910.

Some users are getting around this bug by adding functionality to the ENC script that validates the environment defined in Foreman against the one in the host's puppet.conf. Someone who has done this might be able to help you on the foreman-users list.

Why do i have to define environment in puppet.conf on the agent . Isnt defining the host in a group on foreman good enugh ? .in general there could be a conflict . Btw when i configure env in puppet.conf it does work like expected but it ignored the setting related to env .in foreman

Yaniv,

I was asking if you happen to have an environment defined on your agent in puppet.conf. Anyhow, we can handle this over on foreman-users :)
