puppetrun not reporting client errors

Question

puppetrun doesn't report errors my puppetclients encounter. for instance, if I put jibberish into site.pp and run puppetd --test on the clients I get an error. if I run puppetrun on the puppetmaster it says the client finished with exit code 0. Shouldn't it finish with an error code so that I can easily know there's an error in a manifest file?

Answer 1

puppetrun only reports the success or failure of starting the run on a particular node, not the success or failure of that run. Look at puppets reporting capability if you want to get results of failed runs.
