Can't load environment variables from /etc/sysconfig/puppet

[roy-themachine]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: puppetserver version: 7.13.0
• Distribution: Centos9

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

I've happened the following lines in /etc/sysconfig/puppet on the puppet server
VAULT_ADDR=https://xxxx:8200/
VAULT_NAMESPACE=admin/puppet
VAULT_AUTH_METHOD=approle
VAULT_ROLE_ID=xxxxxx..xxxx
VAULT_SECRET_ID=xxxx..xxx

What are you seeing

The module does not load the environment variable.

What behaviour did you expect instead

For the module to load these environment variables

@roy-themachine environment variables have to be set on the puppet client, not the server. Lookup function is executed (defered) on the client.

Btw, I'm also having problem with env vars. On a debian puppet client, I've try :

root@client:~$ VAULT_ADDR=https://my.vault.addr:8200 puppet agent --test

but I got this error : No vault_addr given and VAULT_ADDR env variable not set

It works perfect if I set the vault_addr directly in the lookup call. I've also try to export the env var or to define it into /etc/default/puppet .... but same error here.

Thanks
Anthony.

+1, i'm trying to use function on server instead of agents, and i just have no idea how to add env to puppet's process.
Anything from /etc/default are ignored. Only way it works is to use export ###, and run puppet agent manually.
Also i've tried to add envs directly to systemd unit within Environment=, also didnt help.

I've found the way to add envs to JRuby runtime, it allows to use not deffered methods of lookup, for me it's ok.

https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppetserver/5.3/config_file_puppetserver#

Here in documentation you can file property to set envs for jruby runtime via file puppetserver.conf.
I've added my approle creds here to avoid mentioning it in code. It works !
