Issue #6810 has been updated by Ben Hughes.

Category set to file
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision
Assignee set to Nigel Kersten
Affected Puppet version set to 2.6.0

This is for the following situation:

<pre>
file{
  "/tmp/foo":
    ensure  => directory,
    source  =>  "puppet:///files/i/dont/exist",
    recurse => remote,
}
</pre>

(where say, the source is populated by a variable or whatever).

Is this either on purpose or a regression?

If it is on purpose, can we make it fail better? And document it somewhere.

Bug #6810: File 'fail' became a lot more fatal in 2.6.6
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6810

Author: eric sorenson
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: file
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0
Keywords: 
Branch: 


In testing 2.6.6, we found that missing source directories in a recurse=>remote 
file copy cause puppetd to exit immediately, whereas earlier versions just 
cause that particular resource to fail but continue with the rest of the 
catalog.  Did failures become intentionally more fatal in 2.6.6?   I can work 
to bisect when this started happening but wondered if it was a known issue.
