Issue #10315 has been reported by Josh Cooper.
----------------------------------------
Bug #10315: File resource with links=>follow fails to create the resource
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10315
Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: file
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8
Keywords: links
Branch:
Given a file /tmp/blah and symlink /tmp/hoho that points to /tmp/blah, and this
manifest,
<pre>
file { "/tmp/foo":
source => "file:///tmp/hoho",
links => follow,
}
</pre>
puppet should create a file called /tmp/foo, whose contents are that of
/tmp/blah (due to following the link). This functionality was first reported
broken in #2817, which was fixed in 0.25.2.
However, this is again broken for a different reason:
<pre>
err: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: change from absent to present failed:
Could not rename temporary file /tmp/foo.puppettmp_8386 to /tmp/foo: File
written to disk did not match checksum; discarding changes ( vs
{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) at line 5 at line 5
</pre>
This new error is a result of a change made for #6856 first released in 2.6.8.
See commit:e493f8acf9fe40baadf4fcd4e1176afa6264d768
The script below will reproduce the problem
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/blah /tmp/hoho /tmp/foo
echo "hello" > /tmp/blah
ln -s /tmp/blah /tmp/hoho
puppet apply <<-EOF
file { "/tmp/foo":
source => "file:///tmp/hoho",
links => follow,
}
EOF
cat /tmp/foo
</pre>
