Foreman » Installer

Was that with --puppet-server-git-repo=true?

No, I have it set to false because my "puppet-environments" repo uses a "Puppetfile" and "r10k" to deploy it. From what I can tell (and I may be wrong) the "git environment" expects everything to be in each repo branch.

However, I agree that these two issues are related, and perhaps need to just become a CR back to Puppet asking them what method we should use to set the config_version in a dynamic environment going forward?

My understanding is that we now need to populate environment.conf for each environment to set it, there's no global method. For the git environments case we probably need to enhance the git hook, and for your r10k environment you probably need to add environment.conf to the managed files.

Could it be you used the installer on an older puppet version and then upgraded puppet? The installer will detect the puppet version and should use directory environments with new enough puppet versions.

Chatting with Dominic and gwmngilfen we found the problem...

I had originally set:

server_dynamic_environments: true

... because I am indeed using dynamic environments, but that actually was a setting that should be false because I am using directory environments. So it should be:

server_dynamic_environments: false
        server_directory_environments: true

That doesn't necessarily mean that there shouldn't be some sort of "conflicting options" checks or "version" check here, but its far less critical ;)
