Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8437 Downloader doesn't remove local files if they are excluded by pluginsignore Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/02/07 1:15 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Cooper Puppet Version: 5.3.4 but it's been this way for a long time When the agent downloads plugins/external facts/locales from the server it is supposed to delete/purge local files that don't exist on the master. That way the local cache doesn't grow unbounded as modules are updated over time on the master. That works most of the time, except if the file to be deleted matches the pluginsignore filter, then the file isn't removed. $ touch ~/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/lib/CVS $ touch ~/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/lib/CVS-too $ bx puppet agent -t Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Notice: /File[/Users/josh/.puppetlabs/opt/puppet/cache/lib/CVS-too]/ensure: removed Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for localhost Info: Applying configuration version '1518038052' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds Note only CVS-too is deleted.
