Issue #2910 has been updated by James Turnbull. Category set to tidy Assigned to set to James Turnbull Target version set to 0.25.5
Okay I've had a look and it's a bug. You are quite correct it should tidy files in a flat sub-directory without recurse. I'll poke at the code some to work out what's happening. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2910: tidy failing to remove any matching files http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2910 Author: Peter Couvares Status: Investigating Priority: High Assigned to: James Turnbull Category: tidy Target version: 0.25.5 Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: I'm somehow unable to get tidy to work _at all_ -- here is what I'm specifying, right inside a node definition in nodes.pp: <pre> tidy { tidy_tmp: path => "/tmp/", age => "7d", backup => false, matches => [ "jna*.tmp" ], } </pre> The rest of my node definition, and everything else in nodes.pp more generally, works fine -- but matching files are not being tidied. I can confirm many matching files on the client host in question with: <pre> find /tmp -maxdepth 1 -name 'jna*.tmp' -atime +7 -print </pre> I've tried the following in turn, with no luck: * removing the matches attribute altogether, * removing the age attribute altogether, * replacing the matches list with a simple string, * removing the explicit path attribute and using "/tmp" as the name, * and setting the type attribute to "mtime" instead of the default atime. I'm out of ideas, no one on IRC had any other ideas, and so I now suspect a bug. If I'm doing something foolish, however, I'd be grateful to know.
