Issue #1544 has been reported by ssm. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1544: File resource fails when recursing from a source directory that contains dangling symlinks http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1544
Author: ssm Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: file Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: file directory recurse symlink Using a file resource with "ensure => directory, recurse => true" fails when the source directory contains dangling symlinks. The directory is created, but none of the content is copied from the source. h2. Manifest file_directory_recurse_symlink.pp This manifest reproduces the issue. The manifest creates a source directory, containing a file with content, and a dangling symlink. It also creates another directory with the first directory as source, and with "recurse => true". The destination directory is created, but neither the file, nor the dangling symlink is copied from the source directory. Instead, an error message is displayed: <pre> err: //File[/tmp/ssm_test_copy]: Failed to generate additional resources during transaction: undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass </pre> This was seen when using "puppetd" and "puppetmasterd", the manifest reproduces the same issue when running with "puppet". h2. Manifest file_directory_recurse_unreadable_file.pp This manifests shows "good" behaviour when encountering unreadable files. I would normally expect a dangling symlink in a recursed directory to be created in the same way on the puppet node, pointing to the same place. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
