Issue #2511 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
A clue! Sam was seeing the problem on :ignore -- but that's one of the parameters that's set up inline in type/file.rb, not one of the ones that's required (e.g. the ones in type/file/*.rb). So it isn't affected by reloading type/file.rb at all (I just tested this to confirm). Therefore, there are two distinct mechanisms at work: the reloading, as seen in the tests, and some as yet undiagnosed problem. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2511: Sporadic and spurious "invalid parameter" errors http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2511 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Accepted Priority: High Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: unknown Target version: 0.25.0 Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.25.0rc1 Keywords: Under certain orderings large numbers (>100) of tests will fail with messages similar to this: <pre> 44) Puppet::Error in 'Puppet::Resource::Catalog when compiling when creating a relationship graph should not write graph files if the catalog is not a host cata log' Invalid parameter source(:source) ./lib/puppet/util/errors.rb:51:in `fail' ./lib/puppet/type.rb:418:in `[]' ./spec/../lib/puppet/type/file.rb:278:in `validate' ./lib/puppet/type.rb:1908:in `initialize' ./spec/../lib/puppet/type/file.rb:400:in `initialize' ./spec/unit/resource/catalog.rb:713:in `new' ./spec/unit/resource/catalog.rb:713: ./spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:22:in `run' ./spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:17:in `each' ./spec/monkey_patches/add_confine_and_runnable_to_rspec_dsl.rb:17:in `run' </pre> The common factor in each case being the "Invalid parameter" messages and the first five lines of the stack trace. That this is order dependent has been confirmed by making the problem appear on a fresh, unmodified copy of 0.25.0rc1 by simply touching spec files to force test execution error and then making the problem go away by touching one of the spec files again to force a different ordering. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
