Debugging Puppets exit code 1 without any errors in the debug output was truly a wonderful experience. /s

@rick As part of my work I was trying to get octocatalog-diff running for our Puppet configuration repo. It's a tool, which builds the Puppet catalog(s) of two branches locally and then diffs them for you, so one can get a clearer picture of the changes.

This tool then obviously runs puppet, specifically "puppet catalog compile" to compile the catalog. I was scratching my head for while, since this command would just exit and even the debug output would only show how it got values for various variables/facts(?).

Well, turns out the next variable/fact(?) it would process had it's value stored in an eyaml (yaml with encryption) and since the environment I was running in wouldn't have the decryption keys, that made puppet then fail apparently.

The thing is: It just failed, no error message, nothing. Only once I looked at the variables/facts(?) it processed right before failure and then looked into the source as well, is when I saw that the next value it would probably process would be a secret. And that is when it clicked that it must fail here somehow.

And indeed, ripping the secrets out and replacing them with dummy values made the command finally succeed.
