Issue #2910 has been updated by Peter Couvares.

I should add that there are no errors (or output of any kind) related to tidy 
in the client's log--unless I introduce an invalid attribute, in which case it 
is noted (which I mention simply to confirm that this isn't due to some more 
fundamental failure to pull the manifest from the master).

Bug #2910: tidy failing to remove any matching files
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2910

Author: Peter Couvares
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: High
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I'm somehow unable to get tidy to work _at all_ -- here is what I'm specifying, 
right inside a node definition in nodes.pp:
<pre>
     tidy { tidy_tmp:
          path => "/tmp/",
          age => "7d",
          backup => false,
          matches => [ "jna*.tmp" ],
     }
</pre>

The rest of my node definition, and everything else in nodes.pp more generally, 
works fine -- but matching files are not being tidied.

I can confirm many matching files on the client host in question with:

<pre>
find /tmp -maxdepth 1 -name 'jna*.tmp' -atime +7 -print
</pre>

I've tried the following in turn, with no luck:
* removing the matches attribute altogether,
* removing the age attribute altogether,
* replacing the matches list with a simple string,
* removing the explicit path attribute and using "/tmp" as the name,
* and setting the type attribute to "mtime" instead of the default atime.

I'm out of ideas, no one on IRC had any other ideas, and so I now suspect a bug.

If I'm doing something foolish, however, I'd be grateful to know.  Thanks.
