Issue #16270 has been updated by eric sorenson.
This appears to be because the output of `gem list pry --remote` includes, not only versions in the sense of numbered releases, but versions as in "variants" of pry that are available: <pre> *** REMOTE GEMS *** pry (0.9.10 ruby i386-mingw32 i386-mswin32 java) </pre> I don't know why they do that or what we could do to influence it... ---------------------------------------- Bug #16270: Ruby gem "pry" repeatedly logged as a change, but no change occurred https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16270#change-70823 Author: Dan Lowe Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: On every Puppet run, this is logged: <pre> Sep 6 15:59:53 mail2 puppet-agent[26053]: (/Stage[main]/Ruby::Gems/Package[pry]/ensure) ensure changed '0.9.10' to '0.9.10 ruby i386-mingw32 i386-mswin32 java' </pre> Here is the Puppet manifest for `ruby::gems`: <pre> class ruby::gems { package { ['pry', 'pry-doc', 'pry-theme', 'pry-editline']: ensure => latest, provider => 'gem' } } </pre> Ruby 1.8.7-352, gem 1.3.7, Puppet 2.7.10. Currently installed pry versions are (0.9.10, 0.9.9.6). I brought this up on IRC and R.I.Pienaar replicated it on a 2.7.17 system using: <pre> package{"pry": ensure => latest, provider => gem} </pre> suggesting that it is not a bug in my local setup or manifests. It's not damaging anything, though it is causing some log pollution. The worst thing it's doing is giving me incorrect change counts in Dashboard. R.I.Pienaar seemed to think it was a bug in Puppet. I don't know enough about Puppet or this gem to have a good opinion on where the problem is. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
