[David Perez Rodriguez (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

David Perez Rodriguez updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-6509 Puppet not handling squared brackets in the source attribute for file resource Change By: David Perez Rodriguez I am still facing this issue, when trying to copy git installation files by copying a folder and making it recursive. There is a file called [.exe and it is failing with: Error: /Stage[main]/ Profile::Intelcom::Aem:: Tcagents/File[Copy Team City agent tools]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Parameter source failed on File[D:/TeamCityTools/git-2.5.0/usr/bin/[.exe]: Could not understand source puppet:///tools/TeamCityTools/git-2.5.0/usr/bin/[.exe: bad URI(is not URI?): puppet:///tools/TeamCityTools/git-2.5.0/usr/bin/[.exe While reading other requests, I saw that is is due to the URI library Puppet uses for validating the path. I also found the same issue in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3135 but it is accepted without a solution.  I wonder if there is a workaround you recommend or a fix for this. Using Puppet 4.4.2. Resource is: file{'Copy Team City agent tools': ensure => directory, path => $tc_tools_path, source => 'puppet:///tools/TeamCityTools', recurse => true, } Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.13#64028-sha1:b7939e9) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
