Bug #3001: Can't manage broken links
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3001
Author: Markus Roberts
Status: Accepted
Priority: Low
Assigned to:
Category: file
Target version: 0.25.3
Affected version: 0.25.2
Keywords:
Branch:
This fell off one of the grab-bag symlink tickets as a low priority side issue
since it's easy to workaround, and may be rendered obsolete if we refacter the
symlink handling system, but I'm giving it its own ticket so we don't loose
track of it.
Give a manifest containing:
node default {
file {"/tmp/link_to_nowhere":
links => manage,
source => "puppet://localhost/fs/link_to_nowhere",
}
}
and a fileserver.conf
[fs]
path /tmp/test_data/
allow *
and a link in /tmp/test_data/ that points to the nonexistent file
"only_on_client_file"
lrwxr-xr-x 1 markus staff 7 Dec 31 10:20 link_to_nowhere ->
only_on_client_file
where the intent is to produce a link to a target (only_on_client_file) on the
client that corresponds to the target of the specified source (link_to_nowhere)
but does not exist on the server, we get the following error on the client:
err: //Node[default]/File[/tmp/link_to_nowhere]: Failed to retrieve current
state of resource: Could not retrieve
information from source(s) puppet://localhost/fs/link_to_nowhere at
manifests/site.pp:17
and on the server:
info: File does not exist or is not accessible:
/tmp/test_data/link_to_nowhere
info: Could not find file_metadata for 'fs/link_to_nowhere'
Any attempt to fix this without a general refactoring should be weighed against
the risk of reversion on the other symlink tickets fixed in 0.25.2.
