Bug #3180: Cannot set a file resource to absent if there is a source and
recurse => true

Given the following manifest:
<pre>
$ cat foo.pp
file{'/tmp/a':
ensure => absent,
source => '/tmp/b/',
recurse => true,
purge => true,
force => true,
}
</pre>
and the following setup:
<pre>
$ find /tmp/b
/tmp/b
/tmp/b/.ignore
$ ls -l /tmp/a
ls: /tmp/a: No such file or directory
</pre>
I get the following message:
<pre>
$ puppet foo.pp
err: /File[/tmp/a/.ignore]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: Could not
set file on ensure: No such file or directory - /tmp/a/.ignore
</pre>
It looks like puppet tries to copy the source even if @ensure@ is set to
@abs...@. Commenting the source out works.
This is a bit annoying, as puppeteers might have such a resource often in a
define and simply pass the @ensure@ from the define to the file source, like:
<pre>
$ cat foo.pp
define foo($ensure = 'present'){
file{'/tmp/a':
ensure => $ensure,
source => '/tmp/b/',
recurse => true,
purge => true,
force => true,
}
}
</pre>
