Bug #5414: file resource can't be used to monitor file changes recursively
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5414
Author: Ben -

Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3

Branch:
for a long time i have used puppet to monitor a directory recursively for file
changes but since upgrading to 2.6 that doesn't appear to work.
# file_test.pp
file { "/tmp/file_test":
ensure => directory, recurse => true,
checksum => mtime, mode => 644, notify => Exec["tar"];
}
exec { "/bin/tar -cf - /tmp/file_test > /dev/null": alias => "tar",
refreshonly => true; }
Using the above manifest the following does not act as expected.
puppet apply --verbose file_test.pp # creates /tmp/file_test and runs exec
as expected
mkdir /tmp/file_test/{1,2,3,4,5,6}
puppet apply --verbose file_test.pp # does nothing, should run exec
puppet apply --verbose file_test.pp # does nothing, should do nothing
touch /tmp/file_test/{1,2,3,4,5,6}/{10,11,12,15}
puppet apply --verbose file_test.pp # does nothing, should run exec
