Josh Cooper commented on PUP-10924   Re: `module install` can't unpack modules with long paths because of minitar bug I verified this is no longer an issue when specifying ENABLE_LONG_PATHS=true and rebooting. I created a module whose fact relatively requires a file whose path exceeds MAX_PATH: Facter.add(:long) do setcode do require_relative '../01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789/abcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghij' true end end And the helper code contains: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs>type "C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\code\environments\production\modules\longfilenames\lib\01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789\abcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghijabcdefghij.rb" puts 'in helper' The relative path to the file on disk is 402 chars which exceeds MAXPATH. I can install the module (using 7.15.0): C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs>puppet module install c:\cygwin64\home\Administrator\josh-longfilenames-0.1.0.tar.gz Notice: Preparing to install into C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/code/environments/production/modules ... Notice: Downloading from https://forgeapi.puppet.com ... Notice: Installing -- do not interrupt ... C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/code/environments/production/modules └── josh-longfilenames (v0.1.0) And the fact can load the helper code: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs>puppet apply -e "notice($facts['long'])" --modulepath c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\code\environments\production\modules in helper Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true So I'm going to close this as a dup of PA-3843 Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.2#820002-sha1:829506d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
