In my Foreman 13.2 / Puppet Server 2.6.0-1 setup, I was having some issues
where smart variables not working properly in one of my modules. After a
lot of code testing / troubleshooting, I wiped out all of my code under
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/[production|development]/. All of the
Puppet environments are under code control via an external Git repo, just
in case someone wondered…
Next I went to Foreman to do Configure -> Environments -> Import from
<host>.
As expected it requested to remove all of the missing classes and I clicked
the checkbox to have that proceed.
When I went to Configure -> Classes and Configure -> Smart class
parameters, I still see all of the classes even though none are assigned to
any hosts.
Is this the expected behavior? I know when I first started playing with
Foreman, if I removed a class, it was deleted from everywhere in Foreman.
Since I am having the odd code issue, which is likely all a fat-finger
somewhere in my syntax that I haven't found yet, I wanted to through this
out to the group to see if this was related or not.
Also is there some command I need to via CLI to have it do a good cleanup
when I wipe out all of the puppet modules and refresh my Dev environment?
You still see the classes or just the smart class parameters?
The smart class parameters are not deleted when deleting the class. This
has been causing some confusion so there is now a bug open for it:
Feature #17548: Smart class parameters without a connected puppetclass shouldn't be showed in the index - Foreman.
