This repository contains a GreaseMonkey script that replaces <textarea>
inputs in the Puppet Enterprise Console with CodeMirror editor
components configured to edit JSON.
This script is intended for demonstration purposes only to show how the Console could behave with a different input method for JSON data. Do not use this script with a production instance of Puppet Enterprise. Possible side effects may include, but are not limited to:
- Fatal errors that render the Console unusable.
- Performance issues that render the Console unusable.
- Loss of configuration data entered via the console.
- Corruption of configuration data entered via the console.
Do not use this script with a production instance of Puppet Enterprise.
This script was developed against Firefox on macOS, mileage may vary with other browsers and operating systems.
In particular, Chrome seems to enforce Content-Security-Policy
in a manner that conflicts with adding CSS to the PE console
pages. Adding the following to the configuration for
the localhost:4430 proxy in /etc/puppetlabs/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf
may work around the issue:
proxy_hide_header Content-Security-Policy
The pe-nginx service will need to be re-started to pick up
new configuration. This modification weakens the security
stance of PE, so, do not use this script with a production
instance of Puppet Enterprise.
