Cedric commented on PUP-10300   Re: find_file function returns path even if absolute path does not exist That would be my understanding. Florian Faltermeier did you find a solution? I am having the same issue, it looks like the find_file is only checked at the agent first run. using the following, /etc/testfile foes not exist $file = find_file('/etc/testfile') notify { "PUP-10300": message => "Path is $file" } First run of the agent /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent -t Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for node-jenkins2 Info: Applying configuration version 'puppet6-production-93da0717e54' Notice: Path is Notice: /Stage[main]/Tanium::Config/NotifyPUP-10300/message: defined 'message' as 'Path is ' Notice: Applied catalog in 15.57 seconds Second run of the agent touch /etc/testfile && chmod 777 /etc/testfile && ll /etc/testfile -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 22 10:35 /etc/testfile* /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent -t Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Info: Caching catalog for node-jenkins2 Info: Applying configuration version 'puppet6-production-93da0717e54' Notice: Path is Notice: /Stage[main]/Tanium::Config/NotifyPUP-10300/message: defined 'message' as 'Path is ' Notice: Applied catalog in 15.57 seconds On the second run, the file existed, so I would have expected it to be in the notify. If I do the reverse, using a '/etc/testfile2' already present, before the first run, and remove it before the second, same is happening, the notify will show the file even when it's not there anymore.
