---------------------------------------- Bug #3180: Cannot set a file resource to absent if there is a source and recurse => true http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3180 Author: Peter Meier Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: file Target version: 0.25.6 Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: 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> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
