Issue #19808 has been updated by Klavs Klavsen.
I dug in and found that you use FileTest.exist to check if a file exists. If I just give that net.exe (which is what it seems you do) - it returns false. If I give it c:\windows\system32\net.exe it returns true. I looked at the ruby definition for FileTest.exist - which uses rb_stat- it does not seem as if it uses a Path variable.. and since Puppet::Util.which can find it (it uses the Path variable to search)) - it would seem the check that checks for existense of net.exe - should be using something like which(value) : FileTest.exist?(Puppet::Util.which(value)) Problem is your which provider gets the WRONG path.. I added the call to Puppet::Util.which at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/confine/exists.rb#L9 And in which command I echo path that it gets from ENV['PATH'] - it says the path is: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin which is obviously wrong on windows. So somehow - the wrong path gets set. Any ideas as to where to look for that? ---------------------------------------- Bug #19808: Service provider for windows 2003 - does not work https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19808#change-87586 * Author: Klavs Klavsen * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If I define: service { 'nscp': ensure => running, enable => true } puppet wants to use init provider. I then tried to force it to use windows provider - but it fails (according to --debug) with "file net.exe does not exist" windows service provider is not functional on this host. Yet: net nscp restart works just fine (ie. net works fine :) Anything I can do to help debug?
