Issue #7893 has been updated by Gabriel Schuyler.
Meanwhile, a workaround is to ignore the socket. Something like this:
file { '/var/lib/mysql':
owner => 'mysql',
group => 'mysql',
recurse => true,
require => File['/etc/my.cnf'],
ignore => 'mysql.sock',
}

Bug #7893: Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate':
Cannot manage files of type socket

Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8
Keywords: recurse, owner, group, socket
Branch:
Using a slightly modified version of the code from "Pro Puppet" I am getting
the following error:
Jun 13 01:36:33 media puppet-agent[18196]:
(/Stage[main]/Mysql::Config/File[mysql_data_dir]) Failed to generate additional
resources using 'eval_generate': Cannot manage files of type socket
The file resource in mysql/manifests/config.pp is as follows:
file { "mysql_data_dir" :
path => $mysql::params::data_directory,
group => "mysql",
owner => "mysql",
recurse => true,
require => File["my.cnf"],
}
And for this particular $operatingsystem (Fedora) the value for $data_directory
in mysql/manifests/params.pp is :
$data_directory = "/var/lib/mysql"
By default mysql on a Fedora system places its mysql.sock file in the data
directory but it appears when a you try and change the permissions recursively,
puppet doesn't know what to do with the socket file.
I can place the socket file elsewhere as a work around but I believe that
puppet needs to ignore socket files when changing permissions.
