Issue #5414 has been updated by Eric Shamow.
I haven't tried the original poster's example. Mine was much more
straightfoward --
file { "/etc/httpd/conf.d":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true,
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 644,
source => "puppet:///modules/mod-redirs/conf.d",
require => Package[ "httpd" ],
notify => Class[ "apache::service" ]
}
If I add a file inside the dir, it'll be distributed. If I *delete* a file
from the target on the client, it will be re-distributed. But if I modify the
contents of a file on the puppet server, no matter how many runs I do, even if
I restart the puppetmaster, those changes are not propagated.
This definitely worked in 0.25.5, because we have several critical classes that
depend on it and are updated frequently. I received the first complaint about
the problem around 15 minutes after upgrading to 2.6.

Bug #5414: file resource can't be used to monitor file changes recursively
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5414
Author: Ben -
Status: Investigating
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: file
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3
Keywords:
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
