[Chris Boot (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Chris Boot created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6415 static_compiler: symlinks in recursed directories don't work Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.5.2, PUP 3.8.7 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 2016/06/16 8:54 AM Environment: Ruby 2.1, Linux Priority: Normal Reporter: Chris Boot When using the static_compiler terminus with a resource definition like the following: file { '/tmp/somedir': ensure => directory, owner => 'root', group => 'root', links => 'manage', mode => '0644', recurse => true, source => 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/somedir/', } When the source directory contains a symlink, catalog application aborts because the symlink has no target: code Error: /Stage[main]/Mymodule::Myclass/File[/tmp/somedir/foo]/ensure: change from absent to link failed: Cannot create a symlink without a target code I have a patch for this bug that I will send in via GitHub shortly. Unfortunately, writing an rspec test to check for this condition is beyond my grasp of Ruby.
