I have a logstash pipeline pointed at this configuration

```
input {}
input { generator { count => 1 lines => [''] } }
filter {
}
output { stdout { codec => rubydebug { metadata => false } } }

```

I then updated my pipelines.yml to contain

```
- pipeline.id: main
  path.config: "/bin/bash"

```

to check the [error message](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-keystore-encoding-error/193135/2) I would get. I then flipped the pipelines.yml back to /home/user/test.conf and logstash just loops forever saying

[ERROR][logstash.agent] An exception happened when converging configuration {:exception=\>ArgumentError, :message=\>"Setting "modules.cli" hasn't been registered", :backtrace=\>["/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/settings.rb:36:in `get_setting'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source/base.rb:60:in`modules\_cli\_setting'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source/base.rb:64:in `modules_cli'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source/base.rb:68:in`modules\_cli?'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source/multi\_local.rb:33:in `match?'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source_loader.rb:48:in`block in fetch'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source\_loader.rb:92:in `block in sources'", "org/jruby/ext/set/RubySet.java:601:in`each'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source\_loader.rb:91:in `block in sources'", "org/jruby/ext/thread/Mutex.java:165:in`synchronize'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source\_loader.rb:89:in `sources'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/config/source_loader.rb:47:in`fetch'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:148:in `converge_state_and_update'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:113:in`block in execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/interval.rb:18:in `interval'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:102:in`execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/runner.rb:367:in `block in execute'", "/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/stud-0.0.23/lib/stud/task.rb:24:in`block in initialize'"]}

Similar to [this](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/7865) (fixed) issue.
