Issue #9112 has been updated by Trevor Vaughan.
Priority changed from High to Urgent
I was finally able to pin this down a bit more and there is a definitely
serious issue with the combination of file and tidy.
Pre-Setup:
/root/foo
/root/foo/blah1
/root/foo/blah2
/root/foo/blah3
Example Code:
<pre>
tidy { "/root/bar":
size => '0b',
matches => '*',
recurse => 'true'
}
file { "/root/bar":
ensure => 'directory',
source => 'file:///root/foo',
recurse => 'true'
}
file { "/root/bar/test3":
ensure => 'file',
content => 'blah'
}
</pre>
After creating this code and running it once with 'puppet apply', remove the
file 'blah2' from the directory 'bar' and run 'puppet apply' again.
With subsequent runs of puppet, it will remove random files from 'bar' and
create random other ones. This causes extremely non-deterministic behaviour.
However, this does not always manifest itself. It appears to only happen when a
file that is usually there gets removed by some other means. However, I think
that it's related to the 'duplicate generated resource' material above even
though this code doesn't spawn that warning.
The use case for doing something like this is to ensure that the only files in
a directory are those placed by puppet. I know that this can be done using
'file' with 'purge', but this did not always work properly in legacy versions
of puppet and the presented combination should either throw an error or work in
a deterministic manner.

Bug #9112: "Duplicate generated resource; skipping" when using Tidy with File.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9112
Author: Trevor Vaughan
Status: Accepted
Priority: Urgent
Assignee: Daniel Pittman
Category: file
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.7rc2
Keywords: tidy, file, duplicate resource
Branch:
The following code produces the 'info' statement "Duplicate generated resource;
skipping" when run under 'puppet agent'. 'puppet apply' does not appear to have
the same issue.
<pre>
file { '/tmp/foo':
ensure => 'directory',
mode => '644'
}
file { [
'/tmp/foo/bar',
'/tmp/foo/bar1',
'/tmp/foo/bar2'
]:
ensure => 'file',
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '644',
content => "test\n"
}
exec { 'make_baz':
command => '/bin/echo "test" > /tmp/foo/baz',
require => File['/tmp/foo']
}
tidy { '/tmp/foo':
size => '0b',
recurse => 'true',
rmdirs => 'true'
}
</pre>
Output:
<pre>
