Description

Much requested feature from the Foreman 1.1: what do you want to see next? thread.

Puppet run/kick is deprecated from Puppet 3.x and MCollective is recommended instead. Foreman should support using MCollective to execute the puppetd agent (runonce action) on the host.

Christian McHugh implemented this by shelling out to mco: http://pastebin.com/1U8ibyrt

I think we should probably use the mco library, e.g. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/simplerpc/clients.html, probably via the proxy for consistency.

I have a workaround for foreman-proxy to use Mcollective:

[root@puppet proxy]# diff puppet.rb.orig puppet.rb
23c23
< command = %x[#{sudo} #{puppetrun} --host #{hosts.join(" --host ")}]
---

command = %x[#{sudo} /usr/bin/mco puppet runonce -I #{hosts.join(" --host ")}]

Yep, there is a patch that I'm working on refactoring right now that does something not too dissimilar to that.

The 'puppetd' MCollective plugin is deprecated, and has been replaced by the 'puppet' plugin. We need to support both plugins. I've attached a patch that works for me.
