Issue #4588 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating
---------------------------------------- Bug #4588: generate() function doesn't seem to be binary safe when used as File content http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4588 Author: Fraser Scott Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected version: Keywords: generate binary safe Branch: The generate() function isn't binary safe it would seem. 13:52 < masterzen> zeroXten: file content is rendered as a string in the json catalog without being escaped correctly :( For example, when using generate() to control keytabs: file { "/etc/krb5.keytab": mode => 0600, owner => "root", group => "root", require => Class["libkrb5::install"], content => generate("keytabgen", $fqdn), replace => no, } results in an error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not render to pson: invalid utf8 byte: '�' as the keytab file contains binary. In the above case, keytabgen is essentially cat'ing a keytab file for the host. Of course, one could use use source instead of content/generate, but in this particular case generate is needed for post processing. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
