environment set by client issues on nodes running 3.0.0

[Matthew Nicholson]

So, we use dynamic environments based off of git branches. Thus, for
the 3.0 upgrade, i've got a puppet3 branch. So far, on the change in
there is to have nodes running from it upgrade to puppet 3.0.0,

so, I can take a node, and do:

puppet agent --test --environment=puppet3
and this will install 3.0.0, as well as edit the environment in
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf on the node to be "puppet3"

However, subsequent runs, with with --environment=puppet3 passed, or
relying on the puppet.conf setting, of the now 3.0.0 node, results in:

Warning: Local environment: "puppet3" doesn't match server specified
node environment "production", switching agent to "production".

at which point it re-write the puppet.conf and downgrades back to
2.7.19 (which, is cool that is WORKS, isn't what i want).

Now, I don't HAVE the environment defined sever side for this node.
with 2.7.x clients, everything is production unless the client
specifies otherwise. Is this a new behavior on 3.0?

all looks like:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/43e15f57c0f3866423a8bd67d3cdb5b2e06b31cc

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16275

but has this not been merged to the release 3.0.0 code yet?

Thanks!

This definitely looks like a bug in 3.0.0. The behavior we intend is
that an ENC can override the client specified environment, but it
sounds like you are not using an ENC. Is that correct? If you are
using an ENC, could you verify that the ENC is not setting the
environment parameter?

correct, no enc, just nodes.pp (node_terminus=plain)(ugh, yes, i know).

previously had the following in puppet.conf on our master(s):

environment = production
manifest = /etc/puppet/environments/$environment/manifests/site.pp
modulepath=/etc/puppet/environments/$environment/modules


so things would always default to production unless specified. i
commented out the environment = production line just to test, and
there were no changes.

If you could file a bug report and then reply here with the ticket
number, that will help tremendously. In the meantime I'm going to
start investigating and try to reproduce the issue here.

Thanks for reporting this,
