Issue #12199 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Category set to augeas Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
This seems like a reasonable request, but I have no idea how this could be represented in a way that won't be very strange, or cause other, deeper problems. If you use Augeas, can you comment on what would work from your point of view about this? How should it be expressed in the Puppet DSL? ---------------------------------------- Bug #12199: augeas "set" silently truncates values https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12199 Author: David Schmitt Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: augeas Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2 Keywords: Branch: A simple augeas { '...': changes => 'set ... xxx' } can fail to put the complete value into the target while wrongly reporting a successful application. Example manifest: define puppet::conf ($ensure) { augeas { "puppet.conf_${name}" : changes => "set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name} ${ensure}" ; "puppet.conf_${name}_sq" : changes => "set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name}_sq '${ensure}'" ; "puppet.conf_${name}_dq" : changes => "set /files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name}_dq \"${ensure}\"" ; } } puppet::conf { "agent/server" : ensure => 'puppetmaster-dev.edvbus' ; "agent/pluginsync" : ensure => 'true' ; "test/sq" : ensure => "'" ; "test/sqsq" : ensure => "''" ; "test/sqsqsq" : ensure => "'''" ; "test/sqsqsqsq" : ensure => "''''" ; "test/dq" : ensure => '"' ; "test/dqdq" : ensure => '""' ; "test/dqdqdq" : ensure => '"""' ; "test/dqdqdqdq" : ensure => '""""' ; "test/truncated_dq" : ensure => '"s"bc"d"ef' ; "test/truncated_sq" : ensure => "'s'bc'd'ef" ; "test/truncated_dq_mix" : ensure => '"s"bc\'d\'ef' ; "test/truncated_sq_mix" : ensure => "'s'bc\"d\"ef" ; "test/truncated_space" : ensure => "before after" ; "test/mix" : ensure => "a\"b'c\"d'e" ; } Result in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf (sorted for convenience): [test] dqdqdqdq_sq="""" dqdqdq_sq=""" dqdq_sq="" dq_sq=" mix=a"b'c"d'e mix_dq=a mix_sq=a"b sq_dq=' sqsq_dq='' sqsqsq_dq=''' sqsqsqsq_dq='''' truncated_dq_mix=s truncated_dq_mix_sq="s"bc truncated_dq=s truncated_dq_sq="s"bc"d"ef truncated_space=before truncated_space_dq=before after truncated_space_sq=before after truncated_sq_dq='s'bc'd'ef truncated_sq_mix_dq='s'bc truncated_sq_mix=s truncated_sq=s As you can see, depending on the used quoting style, different parts of the values are silently truncated. Only values that cannot be written at all into the file cause an error. I've tested this with 2.6. on squeeze and 2.7.10 on centos 6.2 with the same results. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
