can it be a part of a URL? like a password or a parameter?

if not, you would need to add proper headers in

~pe-puppet/.gitconfig

Is there any further information on a more specific timeline when Puppet 8 Becomes a part of PE? and if so a Version #?

August, 2023.3, but it wasn't 'official'

The version number is definitely subject to change

Thanks

Is there a way to retrieve a list/info of all the task_targets in PE? Looking at the API, I can't see a GET option. https://www.puppet.com/docs/pe/2019.8/orchestrator_api_commands_endpoint.html#orchestrator_api_post_command_task_target

good morning PE people! puppetlabs/stdlib 9 dropped the

is_function_available

function. This is used in puppetlabs/puppet_agent to determine if a PE function is available. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppet_agent/blob/main/manifests/params.pp#L47 I am exploring options if this can be implemented in a different way. I didn't find any builtin/stdlib fact that tells me if an agent is a PE

See the

puppetlabs-stdlib

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/stdlib?src=slack&channel=puppet-enterprise

Any ideas how we could determine this or do we need to readd the function to stdlib?

there is a

is_pe

fact but that works only on primaries/compilers, not regular agents

Hm, pe has some specific resource types/defines IIRC, could their presence be used (i.e call defined()).

ah right

@helindbe there is no native try/catch in Puppet, right?

This message was deleted.

then we could just call the function and catch an error if the function doesn't exist

I think

defined()

cannot handle functions, only types/resources?

that's really a function that could be moved to stdlib...

@bastelfreak correct, there is no try/catch function, and

defined()

can check for resources/classes and variables, but not functions.

dang, okay thanks

Writing a new

is_function_available

that works for all types of functions wouldn't be very hard. Seems like a better idea than putting the old "only works for 3x API functions" back again.

ah aha! I think the variable isn't even used anymore:

$ git grep master_agent_version
CHANGELOG.md:- Base master_agent_version on pe_compiling_server_aio_build().
HISTORY.md:- Base master_agent_version on pe_compiling_server_aio_build().
acceptance/helpers.rb:      master_agent_version = fact_on(master, 'aio_agent_version')
acceptance/helpers.rb:      unless master_agent_version
acceptance/helpers.rb:          initial_package_version_or_collection ||= master_agent_version
manifests/params.pp:      $master_agent_version = pe_compiling_server_aio_build()
manifests/params.pp:      $master_agent_version = undef
manifests/params.pp:    $master_agent_version = undef

Also meaningful would be to extend the

defined

in puppet to also find functions - for example

defined("foo()")

- but that would not help with your use case as it would require a new puppet release.

I agree, such a function would be helpful (and I'm still not sure if it was deleted on purpose or by accidient

I think on purpose since it is useless for all 4x/modern functions IIRC.

ahhh

so it didn't detect all functions, just legacy?

didn't know that

yes
