[augeas-devel] should augeas fail on invalid nodes ?

[Marc Fournier]

Hello,

Investigating #138, I noticed that when getting an invalid node, augeas
returns no error: 

$ echo "get /files/foo/bar" | augtool
/files/foo/bar (o)
$ echo $?
0

It does fail when setting an invalid node though.

This is an issue when using puppet, because puppet believes that the
node already has the correct value. So it won't fail and won't set the
correct value neither.

But maybe this problem should be fixed on the puppet side ?

Cheers,
Marc
