Issue #2952 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Investigating to Accepted Target version changed from Puppet - 0.25.2 to Puppet - 0.25.3
This should be pretty straight forward. It appears to be failing to make the temporary file in which (I presume) to collect the contents from the source, and fails because the directory isn't there. That much is unavoidable. But what we could do is recognize this when it happens and clean up the error message. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2952: File resource with missing parent directory has misleading error message http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2952 Author: Alan Harder Status: Accepted Priority: Low Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: file Target version: 0.25.3 Affected version: 0.25.2rc1 Keywords: Branch: <pre> file { '/bogusdir/test': source => {valid source} } </pre> with something like this the error message I see with current 0.25.x branch from git looks like this: @change from absent to file failed: Could not set file on ensure: No such file or directory - /bogusdir/test.puppettmp_8080@ In my case the parent dir is created by an exec resource, but I didn't have the dependencies right, and the "puppettmp" reference here threw me. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
