Steve - this is a duplicate of an earlier bug #86 - it's worth reading the very long thread in there to see why we don't do this and see some suggested workarounds. ---------------------------------------- Feature #10340: file resource type should support creating parent tree https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10340 Author: Steve Shipway Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: if you have this resource: file { '/usr/local/foo/bar': content=>'xxx', ensure=>present; } but the directory /usr/local/foo does not exist, then you get an error. I would prefer that there be a flag for 'create path if required' -- IE, run a 'mkdir -p /usr/local/foo' -- so that the resource can succeed. It would be good if the flag were enabled by default, though we can always set our own defaults of course. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
