Issue #14811 has been updated by Adam Roben.
I've run into this on Puppet 3.1 as well. It pretty much guarantees that the first run of Puppet on any of my machines will fail. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14811: launchd service provider doesn't keep up-to-date with on-disk files https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14811#change-87232 * Author: Clay Caviness * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: OSX * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- When adding a new launchd job, if the manifests have other service resources, the service provider will frequently be out-of-date and be unable to start/enable a service from a newly-created launchd plist file. Looking at debug output, it seems that the first time puppet comes across a service resource, it reads all the _current_ on-disk launchd plist files. Later in the manifest, if you add a new launchd plist file and a new service based on that, the new service will fail to start: `err: /Stage[main]//Service[com.company.testjob]/ensure: change from absent to running failed: Unable to find launchd plist for job: com.company.testjob` I presume this is because the new service resource isn't re-reading the on-disk plists, as a second puppet run with the same manifests enables the new launchd job successfully. As a contrived example to recreate, add part of the output of `sudo puppet resource service` to the top of a manifest with: <pre> file { '/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist': ensure => file, source => 'file:///tmp/testjob/com.company.testjob.plist' mode => 0644, } service { 'com.company.com': enable => 'true', ensure => 'running', subscribe => File['/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.company.testjob.plist'], } </pre> I'm currently running 2.7.12, but this has been occurring for a long time now (since 2.6, probably forever). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
