Enc forcing environment even passed via command line

[Tejas Bhosale]

Hi,

I have enc script which when executed in output it post environemnt.

But for some host when i want to test my changes i want to pass -E on command line like

puppet agent -t -E test   but that is override by env it gives either development or production env .

Can we do anything to fix this issue so that i can test my code on those machines.

Hi Tejas,

It looks like you are using an ENC (https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/nodes_external.html#comparing_encs_and_node_definitions)

This can either be Puppet Enterprise or Foreman.

These can force a node to make use of a specific environment only and it forbids switching Puppet environment.

What are you using? PE? Foreman? A self written script? Something different?

I am using self written script took as ref from here

https://github.com/T-Systems-MMS/puppet-example-enc/blob/master/puppet_enc.sh

There i am classifying nodes based on env prod and development ...

but when i want to make some new changes on development i want multiple people to work there so i will create env based on their name like

-E tejas  -E xyz like that and run in noop so after make sure our changes work proper we can commit it in git .

Hi Tejas,

Nodes which should not have environment pinning should not have an environment entry set by the ENC.

This will allow the agent to switch to any environment.

Hth,

Martin
