Mark Mickan created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7742 cannot set file owner to new user when purging unmanaged users Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.10.4, PUP 4.10.3, PUP 4.10.2 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/06/29 6:34 AM Environment: Issue occurs on CentOS 7.3 Issue does not occur on Ubuntu 16.04 Priority: Normal Reporter: Mark Mickan When using "resources { 'user': purge => true } ", a file owned by a puppet-managed user cannot be created when that user is being created in the same run. Simple test case: test.pp group { 'test': ensure => 'present', system => true, }   user { 'test': ensure => 'present', system => true, groups => [], }   file { '/tmp/test': ensure => 'file', owner => 'test', group => 'test', mode => '0644', }   resources { 'user': purge => true, } Under CentOS 7.3, this successfully creates the user and group, and creates the /tmp/test file with ownership root:root, but errors: [vagrant@hashiserver-1 vagrant]$ sudo puppet apply test.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for hashiserver-1.node.vagrant.consul in environment production in 0.12 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Group[test]/ensure: created Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/User[test]/ensure: created Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: Could not find user test at /vagrant/test.pp:12 Error: Could not set 'file' on ensure: Could not find user test at /vagrant/test.pp:12 Wrapped exception: Could not find user test Error: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/test]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: Could not set 'file' on ensure: Could not find user test at /vagrant/test.pp:12 Notice: Applied catalog in 0.29 seconds A subsequent "sudo puppet apply test.pp" completes successfully. This problem was introduced in puppet-agent 4.10.2.
