Issue #6808 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Assignee changed from Nigel Kersten to Daniel Pittman
---------------------------------------- Bug #6808: Provide informative message when ensure => present, *and* managing content/source, and target is a symlink https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6808 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Needs Decision Priority: Low Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: <pre> /tmp/foo -> /tmp/bar </pre> <pre> file { "/tmp/foo": ensure => present, content => "foo", } </pre> When you run this, you get no indication that the content will not be written. This is because the existence of the symlink suffices for "ensure => present", and the content isn't evaluated. This is almost certainly another indicator that we should be breaking the symlink type out into it's own type, separate from File, but in the meantime we should try to log *something* here if feasible. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
