Jira (PUP-8167) Service SMF provider tries to stop absent service

[Jarret Lavallee (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Jarret Lavallee created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8167 Service SMF provider tries to stop absent service Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.10.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/11/12 7:06 PM Environment: PUP 4.9.0+ with Solaris using the SMF provider Priority: Normal Reporter: Jarret Lavallee A behavior change introduced in PUP-6797 for the SMF service provider breaks existing code for customers that are upgrading. The SMF provider now sets a service as absent instead of stopped when the service is not found on the system. The service provider does not check for the existence of the service when trying to stop the service. The result is that configuring an absent service to be stopped and disabled will error out, where as it previously succeeded. The issue is not with the absent change, but rather that the stop is run against the absent service. Below is an easy reproduction case. Install any agent 4.9.0+ and apply the following manifest. # cat test.pp service {'svc:/system/console-login:terma': ensure => stopped, enable => false, provider => 'smf', } The resulting output is as follows. Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/svcs -H -o state,nstate svc:/system/console-login:terma' Debug: Service[svc:/system/console-login:terma](provider=smf): Could not get status on service svc:/system/console-login:terma Execution of '/usr/bin/svcs -H -o state,nstate svc:/system/console-login:terma' returned 1: svcs: Pattern 'svc:/system/console-login:terma' doesn't match any instances Debug: Executing: '/usr/sbin/svcadm disable -s svc:/system/console-login:terma' Error: Could not stop Service[svc:/system/console-login:terma]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/svcadm disable -s svc:/system/console-login:terma' returned 1: svcadm: Pattern 'svc:/system/console-login:terma' doesn't match any instances Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[svc:/system/console-login:terma]/ensure: change from absent to stopped failed: Could not stop Service[svc:/system/console-login:terma]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/svcadm disable -s svc:/system/console-login:terma' returned 1: svcadm: Pattern 'svc:/system/console-login:terma' doesn't match any instances What I would expect is that since the service is marked as absent per this commit and then the stop service should not be run since the service is absent. The service resource does not provide an absent value to the ensure parameter.
