Issue #15062 has been updated by Andreas Knifh.
I'm running into this issue with puppet 3.1.0-1puppetlabs1 in debian wheezy using the generate function to install kerberos keytabs on my hosts. It's a bit weird though, my puppet masters are running on debian squeeze, still puppet 3.1.0-1puppetlabs1 and any hosts running debian squeeze has no problems generating the keytabs. Only debian wheezy, and also ubuntu 12.10. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15062: puppet fails if template contains invalid utf-8 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15062#change-84745 Author: Chris Price Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson 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. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
