---------------------------------------- Bug #2817: File resource with links=>follow creates a symlink http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2817 Author: Alan Harder Status: Ready for Checkin Priority: Normal Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: file Target version: 0.25.2 Affected version: 0.25.1 Keywords: symlink Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/0.25.x/2817 Puppet 0.25.1 on Solaris 10 with ruby 1.8.7. The manifest: node default { file { '/tmp/foo': source => 'file:///tmp/hoho', links => follow } } (/tmp/hoho is a symlink pointing to /tmp/blah) First run: <pre> debug: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]: Changing ensure debug: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]: 1 change(s) debug: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]/mode: Not managing symlink mode notice: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: created debug: Finishing transaction 9038220 with 1 changes debug: Storing state debug: Stored state in 0.04 seconds debug: Format pson not supported for Puppet::Transaction::Report; has not implemented method 'from_pson' debug: Format s not supported for Puppet::Transaction::Report; has not implemented method 'from_s' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.35 seconds #ls -l /tmp/foo 16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 13 10:10 /tmp/foo -> blah </pre> Created as a symlink instead of regular file. Second run: <pre> debug: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]/checksum: Not checksumming symlink err: //Node[{{mynode}}]/File[/tmp/foo]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not read /tmp/foo: undefined method `_file' for #<Puppet::Type::File::Content:0x1143c30> debug: Finishing transaction 9041316 with 0 changes debug: Storing state debug: Stored state in 0.04 seconds debug: Format pson not supported for Puppet::Transaction::Report; has not implemented method 'from_pson' debug: Format s not supported for Puppet::Transaction::Report; has not implemented method 'from_s' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.34 seconds </pre> I got the latest from 0.25.x branch in git (which includes fix for #2757) and tried that.. it still created a symlink, but the subsequent run was OK. I hope this can be fixed for 0.25.2, thanks!
