Title: Message Title

Steven Pritchard created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10974 service enable=mask fails when service isn't present Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 7.5.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2021/03/25 11:20 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Steven Pritchard Puppet Version: 6.21.1, 7.5.0 Puppet Server Version: N/A OS Name/Version: CentOS 7 With the systemd provider, setting enable to mask on a service that does not exist fails. Desired Behavior: Masking a service should work whether or not the service exists (the way that setting enable to false works either way). Actual Behavior: [root@puppet ~]# systemctl list-unit-files | grep madeup [root@puppet ~]# puppet resource service madeup service { 'madeup': ensure => 'stopped', enable => 'false', provider => 'systemd', } [root@puppet ~]# puppet resource service madeup enable=mask Error: Could not disable madeup: Error: /Service[madeup]/enable: change from 'false' to 'mask' failed: Could not disable madeup: service { 'madeup': enable => 'false', provider => 'systemd', } [root@puppet ~]# systemctl mask madeup Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/madeup.service to /dev/null. [root@puppet ~]# systemctl list-unit-files | grep madeup madeup.service masked The error here appears to be coming from https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/85bd9ed07e3e6c956f1972624a50be914292e1ab/lib/puppet/provider/service/systemd.rb#L162.  If I wrap that in a begin block, the service is masked properly.
