Eeek. Do you want to raise this on the list and determine consensus RI? ---------------------------------------- Bug #5286: Resources with schedules attached doesnt behave consistantly when notified https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5286 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assignee: R.I. Pienaar Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2 Keywords: Branch: I was trying to figure out if an exec that gets notified outside of its schedule will still be run and noticed some inconsistencies. Given this code: <pre> schedule { daily: period => daily, range => "02:00 - 04:00" } file{"/tmp/bar": content => "bar", schedule => "daily", } exec{"test": command => "/usr/bin/cowsay moo", logoutput => true, schedule => "daily"} service{"httpd": schedule => "daily"} file{"/tmp/foo": content => "moo", notify => [ File["/tmp/bar"], Exec["test"], Service["httpd"] ] } </pre> If /tmp/foo doesn't exist and its not 02:00 - 04:00 I would either expect nothing else to happen or the file, exec and service all realized: <pre> % rm /tmp/foo /tmp/bar; puppet test.pp notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}b7d192a44e0da16cd180ebe85efb7c8f' notice: /Stage[main]//Service[httpd]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: _____ notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: < moo > notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: ----- notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: \ ^__^ notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: \ (oo)\_______ notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: (__)\ )\/\ notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: ||----w | notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: || || notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events </pre> The file /tmp/bar isn't being created - its outside of schedule - but the exec runs and service gets notified. If I now run it again without deleting the file /tmp/foo then as expected the exec doesn't get run. I don't know what the desired behavior here is, I hoped notifying resources outside of their schedule will result in exec's running etc but I think that isn't the most common desire, the documentation says: <pre> schedule { maint: range => “2 - 4”, period => daily, repeat => 1 } With this schedule, the first time that Puppet runs between 2 and 4 AM, all resources with this schedule will get applied, but they won’t get applied again between 2 and 4 because they will have already run once that day, and they won’t get applied outside that schedule because they will be outside the scheduled range. </pre> We should either clarify how this applies to notified resources and I guess there is also a question of how resources - like file in my example - that doesn't really do anything when notified should behave in this scenario. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
