Bug #8847: Symlinks in directories copied in a recursive 'file' resource will
not be copied if they don't resolve on the puppet master
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8847
Author: Sam Cannell

Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2

Branch:
Consider the following puppet module:
puppetmaster:/etc/puppet # find modules/symlinktest/
modules/symlinktest/
modules/symlinktest/files
modules/symlinktest/files/tmp
modules/symlinktest/files/tmp/symlinktest
modules/symlinktest/files/tmp/symlinktest/symlink
modules/symlinktest/manifests
modules/symlinktest/manifests/init.pp
puppetmaster:/etc/puppet # cat modules/symlinktest/manifests/init.pp
class symlinktest {
file { "/tmp/symlinktest":
source =>
"puppet://${servername}/modules/${module_name}/tmp/symlinktest",
recurse => true,
}
}
'symlink' in the symlinktest directory is a symbolic link pointing to a file
outside the directory being copied:
puppetmaster:/etc/puppet # ls -l
modules/symlinktest/files/tmp/symlinktest/symlink
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root puppet 9 2011-08-09 17:00
modules/symlinktest/files/tmp/symlinktest/symlink -> /etc/file
The file referenced by the symbolic link does not exist on the puppet master:
puppetmaster:/etc/puppet # ls -l /etc/file
ls: cannot access /etc/file: No such file or directory
Trying to run this module on a client will fail trying to create 'symlink':
client:~ # puppetd -tv
info: Caching catalog for puppetmaster.domain
info: Applying configuration version '1312866094'
notice: /Stage[main]/Symlinktest/File[/tmp/symlinktest]/ensure: created
err: /File[/tmp/symlinktest/symlink]: Could not evaluate: Could not
retrieve information from source(s)
puppet://puppetmaster.domain/modules/symlinktest/tmp/symlinktest/symlink
notice: Finished catalog run in 10.50 seconds
If I create the file on the puppet master (once again, note that this file is
outside the /etc/puppet tree) the module runs fine:
puppetmaster:/etc/puppet # touch /etc/file
client:~ # puppetd -tv
info: Caching catalog for puppetmaster.domain
info: Applying configuration version '1312866094'
notice: /Stage[main]/Symlinktest/File[/tmp/symlinktest]/ensure: created
notice: /File[/tmp/symlinktest/symlink]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 10.51 seconds
client:~ # ls -l /tmp/symlinktest/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root puppet 9 2011-08-09 17:06 symlink -> /etc/file
This issue occurs whether the class is contained within a module or the base
manifests. It appears to affect puppet 2.6.2 but *not* 0.25.4.
