Your choice of bug is one of the following: 1) Puppet should be creating the file, like it says in it's diagnostic output. 2) Puppet should NOT be creating a file without ensure => set, at which point the diagnostic output should be changed to something much more useful and (probably) some documentation needs to be updated. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14531: Puppet doesn't create symlinks when just using 'target => /path/to/file' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14531#change-65252 Author: Jos Boumans Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.16 Keywords: Branch: Consider the following code: $ ls -al /mnt/tmp/{x,test} ls: cannot access /mnt/tmp/test: No such file or directory -rw-r--r-- 1 jib users 3 May 4 23:35 /mnt/tmp/x $ cat z.pp file { '/mnt/tmp/test': target => '/mnt/tmp/x', } $ sudo puppet apply z.pp notice: /Stage[main]//File[/mnt/tmp/test]/ensure: created notice: Finished catalog run in 3.56 seconds $ ls -al /mnt/tmp/{x,test} ls: cannot access /mnt/tmp/test: No such file or directory -rw-r--r-- 1 jib users 3 May 4 23:35 /mnt/tmp/x Changing 'target' to 'ensure' works around the issue. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
