Issue #3220 has been updated by Todd Zullinger.
I don't have a strong opinion there, I could see it argued both ways. Ideally, you only ever have resources from puppet to worry about. To make everyone happy you almost need a param to control that. Maybe the purge param could learn something like "all" to purge unmanaged but puppet created jobs as well as random jobs that were never added by puppet. That's probably best left for a seperate bug/feature request though. The main problem here is that puppet doesn't handle it gracefully when there are non-managed resources present. In the example crontab above, the "# Puppet Name: echo_test" entry was made manually. Puppet should tell me that it's present and should be absent (or remove it if I drop the noop => true). It doesn't do that though, since it chokes while trying to parse the crontab. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3220: err: //crontab::cleaner/Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'generate' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3220 Author: Rob Terhaar Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Todd Zullinger Category: cron Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Hello- Bit of background first, we're using CentOS5 machines with puppet/puppetmaster 25.4 from EPEL packages. For some reason that I cannot determine, the following code[1] (which works on our development system) fails[2] on our staging system: [1] class crontab::cleaner { resources { cron: purge => true } } Our intent is to remove all non-managed crontab entries. However, when I run puppetd --test, I receive this error: err: //crontab::cleaner/Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'generate': You must specify a name or title for resources --trace --debug --verbose on puppetmaster and on the puppetd client[3] do not give any further information about the problem.
