    • Release Notes Summary:
      When creating or converting a module, and there is a saved template-url value in the answers file, the PDK will now check that the repository specified in the template-url answer exists and fall back to using the default template if it doesn't.

      Description

      The cached answer file is no longer syncing properly with the actual template used with the pdk.

      Steps to replicate:

      vim ~/.pdk/cache/answers.json

      Run the above command and change the template url to the old template repo like so:
      "template-url": "https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk-module-template",

      Then run your local pdk against a module using the 'convert' command.

      Check the details within metadata.json and you can see the values won't match the template actually used:

      "template-url": "https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk-templates",
      		 
      "template-ref": "1.3.0-0-g632fa63"

      A solution is to possibly remove this key from the answers file entirely - else we need to make sure this value is actually up to date with the template used.
