Issue #9544 has been updated by Michael Stahnke. Status changed from Merged - Pending Release to Closed
released in 2.7.10rc1 ---------------------------------------- Bug #9544: package spec may fail if not run as root https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9544 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Closed Priority: Low Assignee: Stefan Schulte Category: Target version: 2.7.10 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/9544 The specfile `spec/integration/provider/package_spec.rb` seems to test the instances method of the appropiate package provider (depending on the system that is running the test). The test can fail if the `instances` method requires extra privileges the user who is running the tests does not have. On my gentoo system I get the following error: 1) Package provider portage should be able to get a list of existing packages Failure/Error: provider.instances.each do |package| Puppet::Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/eix-update' returned 1: You must be in the portage group to update the database. Set SKIP_PERMISSION_TESTS=true to skip this test (e.g. if you use NSS/LDAP). # ./lib/puppet/provider/package/portage.rb:46:in `instances' # ./spec/integration/provider/package_spec.rb:26 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
