---------------------------------------- Bug #17457: Date-like strings are munged during serialization, breaking puppet inspect runs https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17457#change-76941 Author: Ken Johnson Status: Tests Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: David Gwilliam Category: zaml Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1281 So, we had a customer hit an issue with the way Puppet audit changes the date in catalogs. This seems to pop up specifically with user resources present which have the expiry parameter specified. When a node is affected Puppet inspect runs throw an error that looks like this: Error message from cron: Could not run: Parameter expiry failed: Expiry dates must be YYYY-MM-DD at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/env/manifests/somemanifest.pp:51 Lindsey was able to replicate this by following these steps: <pre> To reproduce, in a PE 2.6 environment: 1) Add the following resource to site.pp: user {'expirer': expiry => '2020-05-01', } 2) Run puppet apply -t 3) Run puppet inspect It looks like the expiry field is getting serialized in the cached catalog in a way that makes it unserialize back in to Ruby as not-a-string. This causes inspect, which uses the cached catalog, to trip up when validating the expiry: [3] pry(main)> '2020-05-10' !~ /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/ => false [4] pry(main)> 2020-05-10 !~ /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/ => true You can verify this is the case by editing the cached catalog and quoting the 'expiry' value (e.g. from `!ruby/sym expiry: 2020-05-01` to `!ruby/sym expiry: "2020-05-01"`. </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
