Issue #1544 has been updated by pnasrat.
<pre>
# Recursively list the files in this tree.
def reclist(basepath, abspath, recurse, ignore)
abspath = basepath if abspath.nil?
relpath = abspath.sub(%r{^#{basepath}}, '')
relpath = "/#{relpath}" if relpath[0] != ?/ #/
return unless FileTest.exists?(abspath)
...
</pre>
This breaks as for dangling symlinks FileTest.exists? is false so we get a nil
in the middle of the recursive call.

Bug #1544: File resource fails when recursing from a source directory that
contains dangling symlinks
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1544
Author: ssm
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: pnasrat
Category: file
Target version: 0.24.6
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.
