          • Release Notes Summary:
            There was a bug in Puppet Server versions prior to 2.7.0 wherein calling the `generate()` function did not merge the output from {{STDERR}} into the output from {{STDOUT}}. This bug is fixed on 2.7.0 and the output from {{STDERR}} is now included.

            Description

            description

            The function generate() does not merge stdout and stderr using a puppet4 master. It works as expected on a v3 master, or using puppetv4 apply.

            #!/bin/sh
            		 
             
            		 
            echo -n stdin
            		 
            echo -n stderr 1>&2


            class manifests::test_util_exec {
            		 
              $_msg = generate('/tmp/test2')
            		 
              notify { 'test_util_exec':
            		 
                message => $_msg
            		 
              }
            		 
            }

            puppetv4 master
