Bug #15062: puppet fails if template contains invalid utf-8
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15062
Author: Chris Price
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: templates
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.16
Keywords: character encoding binary utf8
Branch:
If you attempt to use a file resource with a 'content' parameter pointing at a
template, and the template contains binary content, you may get an error like
this:
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter content failed: Munging failed
for value ...
invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
I've reproduced the failure in 2.7.16 and 3.x, though the error messages differ
slightly between the two (and also depending on whether you repro via 'apply'
or via master/agent run).
I'm attaching the binary file that I'm using to repro. Save it into a
directory structure like this:
modules/mymod/templates/mytemplate.erb
Add the "modules" directory to your module path and then you can repro with the
following manifest:
file { "/tmp/myfile":
mode => 755,
content => template("mymod/mytemplate.erb"),
}
Note that if you use the 'source' parameter rather than the 'content' parameter
(and avoid calling the template function), the manifest can be applied
successfully; so the issue is when bringing in binary data as a string.
