---------------------------------------- Bug #14811: launchd service provider doesn't keep up-to-date with on-disk files https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14811#change-64628 Author: Clay Caviness Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: OSX Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: When adding a new launchd job, if the manifests have other service resources, the service provider will frequently be out-of-date and be unable to start/enable a service from a newly-created launchd plist file. Looking at debug output, it seems that the first time puppet comes across a service resource, it reads all the _current_ on-disk launchd plist files. Later in the manifest, if you add a new launchd plist file and a new service based on that, the new service will fail to start: `err: /Stage[main]//Service[com.company.testjob]/ensure: change from absent to running failed: Unable to find launchd plist for job: com.company.testjob` I presume this is because the new service resource isn't re-reading the on-disk plists, as a second puppet run with the same manifests enables the new launchd job successfully. As a contrived example to recreate, add part of the output of `sudo puppet resource service` to the top of a manifest with: <pre> file { '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist': ensure => file, source => 'file:///tmp/testjob/com.company.testjob.plist' mode => 0644, } service { 'com.company.com': enable => 'true', ensure => 'running', subscribe => File['/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist'], } </pre> I'm currently running 2.7.12, but this has been occurring for a long time now (since 2.6, probably forever). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
