Until this is resolved, I have a workaround:

  • http://twitter.com/#!/jordansissel/status/28355343105
  • http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/source/browse/tools/puppet-cycle-to-dot.rb

It takes parses the cycle error message and generates a .dot file from that message for easier graph viewing.

Not sure why this is assigned to me.

This would be a great feature in a separate ‘puppet catalog’ application.
