Issue #4489 has been updated by Sebastian Boehm.
The bug Joerg is referring to was introduced in [2cf7222df889981313c6955cc9220ce160dd90f6](http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/commit/2cf7222df889981313c6955cc9220ce160dd90f6) with client-side file streaming. Markus changed the terminus selection code with the fix above but it seems to me that `each_chunk_from` (and hence `write`) in `lib/puppet/type/file/content.rb` does not actually use the terminus. (Although I'm not exactly sure I've managed to wrap my head around the way indirectors and termini work in this case.) The `local?` method in `lib/puppet/type/file/source.rb` uses a hardcoded check for "file" in the URI to determine whether a file source is local, which is why it never returns true for puppet URIs -- even with "puppet apply". So when `each_chunk_from` finally calls `chunk_file_from_source` in `lib/puppet/type/file/content.rb` an HTTP request is issued which subsequently fails with the getaddrinfo error. It would be great if you could get this fixed for 2.6.1 since it effectively renders file sources in standalone puppet useless. ### References ### [each_chunk_from](http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/21afb51a1b84116b2a906a6959ae588f45135104/lib/puppet/type/file/content.rb#L164-174) seems to be a good starting point to investigate this bug further. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4489: standalone puppet file source error "Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: ..." http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4489 Author: Mathias Gug Status: Closed Priority: Immediate Assignee: Markus Roberts Category: fileserving Target version: 2.6.1 Affected version: 2.6.0 Keywords: Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/2.6.x/4489 When running the puppet command with the following code: <pre> file { "/tmp/bobics_fileserver": source => "puppet:///modules/bobics/bobics_fileserver"} </pre> I get the error: <pre> err: /Stage[main]/Bobics/File[/tmp/bobics_fileserver]: Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///modules/bobics/bobics_fileserver: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known at /home/debian/puppet_sample/ modules/bobics/manifests/init.pp:8 </pre> See http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/626e7334b437f4fc/ac3434e23105b2a4. This seems to be a regression in 2.6. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
