Melissa Stone commented on PUP-7534   Re: Deprecate using file checksums in `content` property It looks like deprecating this is going to be a little more complicated then we though, so much so that we may need to re-evaluate our proposed timeline. It looks like the alternate means of defining the contents of a file to match those stored in filebucket isn't fully working yet Testing the behavior we're trying to move away from is doing the right thing $ be ./bin/puppet apply -e "file {'/ content => '{md5}c2e32358f9acb9eae52dcb9b54200857' }" Notice: Compiled catalog for bubba.local in environment production in 0.02 seconds Warning: Using a checksum in a file's "content" property is deprecated. The ability to use a checksum to retrieve content from the filebucket using the "content" property will be remove d in a future release. The literal value of the "content" property will be written to the file. To retrieve content from the file bucket, use the "checksum" and "checksum_value" paramet ers. (file: unknown, line: 1) Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/test-checksum]/content: content changed '{md5}593f8d4f2a21fccd74b147b48e1838b1' to '{md5}c2e32358f9acb9eae52dcb9b54200857' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.32 seconds This results in the contents of `/tmp/test-checksum` to be what I would expect. However, when I implement the proposed alternate code, it does not work. $ be ./bin/puppet apply -e "file {'/tmp/test-checksum': ensure => file, checksum => 'md5', checksum_value => 'c2e32358f9acb9eae52dcb9b54200857' }" Notice: Compiled catalog for bubba.local in environment production in 0.02 seconds Warning: /File[/tmp/test-checksum]: Checksum value is ignored unless content or source are specified Notice: Applied catalog in 0.31 seconds This doesn't alter the contents of `/tmp/test-checksum` at all, which seems bad.
