Issue #9974 has been updated by Gary Larizza. Status changed from Accepted to Duplicate Branch set to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1309
This should be related to #17624, which I've fixed with <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1309>, please give it a spin and see if it works for you! ---------------------------------------- Bug #9974: launchd (or any other provider) shouldn't fail with malformed or oddball plists https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9974#change-78031 Author: Clay Caviness Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.5 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1309 While debugging https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9192 I found the larger issue to be that provider.rb was the failure point. `puppet resource service` was failing on a 10.5 machine with `Could not run: No resource and no name in property hash in launchd instance` I tweaked provider.rb to print the whole property hash: 260 def name 261 require 'pp' 262 PP::pp(@property_hash) 263 if n = @property_hash[:name] 264 return n 265 elsif self.resource 266 resource.name 267 else 268 raise Puppet::DevError, "No resource and no name in property hash in #{self.clas s.name} instance" 269 end 270 end … and noticed: {:provider=>:launchd, :path=>"/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist", :status=>:stopped, :name=>nil} Note the `nil` `:name`. Examining the launchd plist, it’s malformed (well, incomplete): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyLi st-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>StartInterval</key> <integer>3600</integer> </dict> </plist> This plist was created when we were tweaking the StartInterval for xprotect, but forgot to restrict the setting to 10.6 and later, so some 10.5 machines got this. I think provider.rb should probably just skip malformed/oddball launchd plists like this rather than completely bailing out. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
