2 years agoFor modules, yes, the cases I have seen are for things like AD configsource modules where lack of exception handling leads to fully or partially empty data that replaces previous results. I’ve also often seen similar issues with network devices where you see errors, “false”, etc. replace the entire previous config. The newer modules are better but still suffer from this problem sometimes (see all the extra code I’ve had to add to avoid thrashing in my local repos in the lm-get-configs script in my github repo).
I never did get a good answer on why an access blip causes buitin properties like system.ips to thrash, nor did they take it seriously enough to escalate to the developers.
