[Puppet 7] configuration version remains unchanged.

[hojeonghan]

Describe the Bug

When i run directly command puppet agent -t on puppet-agent node that log looks fine, but the configuration version is remained unchanged.

Expected Behavior

I updated the puppet code on puppet server and then directly run command on puppet-agent node to apply new code. but, some agent nodes couldn't fetch the new code. They fetched the previous code. So I checked the /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/client_data directory contents and /var/log/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.log. I discovered unchanged configuration version.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. update puppet code on puppetserver
2. run puppet agent -t command on puppet-agent

Environment

• Version : 7.34.0
• Platform : ubuntu20.04, ubuntu22.04

Additional Context

• puppet.log of issued puppet-agent
