Description

When dealing with an invalid option, puppet should provide more meaningful error message:

$ puppet -verbose Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at end of file at line 1

This should generate something along the line of “-verbose invalid option”.

Can you test this on 2.6.0? I think you’ll find it’s improved.

Testing on 2.6 rc4 shows same error message:

$ puppet —noop —verbose test.pp info: Applying configuration version ‘1278795864’ notice: /Stage[main]//Cron[cron1]/ensure: is absent, should be present (noop)
