Jira (PUP-5994) Puppet module install fails when modules have long path names

[Glenn Sarti (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Glenn Sarti commented on PUP-5994   Re: Puppet module install fails when modules have long path names The standard TAR header only uses a 100 byte field for filename. The UStar format supersedes this and adds the ability to add a 155 filename prefix to the header, effectively making the the max pathname 255 chars. Using the default standard tar command on Mac OSX (Darwin), when it encounters the long name it shortens the filename and adds a prefix. This can be seen in an extract of the name parameter in the DSC module. puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/user_valid_password.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/user_valid_unicode.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_password.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_passwordneverexpires.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_username.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/ puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/service_remove.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/service_valid_name_startuptype_state.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/service_incompatible_startup_state.rb tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/service_invalid_name.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/registry/negative/ puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/registry/reg_force_value.rb Note that some files are missing the root directory 'puppetlabs-dsc-....' The MiniTar ruby implementation takes this into account and presents a method called full_name. Using the example above this is the result of full_name puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_password.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_passwordneverexpires.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/user/negative/user_invalid_username.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/ puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/service_remove.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/service_valid_name_startuptype_state.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/service_incompatible_startup_state.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/service/negative/service_invalid_name.rb puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/registry/negative/ puppetlabs-dsc-1.0.0/tests/acceptance/tests/basic_dsc_resources/registry/reg_force_value.rb Our puppet code was validating file extraction against name not full_name so it failed silently to extract the shortened names.
