Issue #19808 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Since the service provider defines a command, `for_binary?` is true, so we call `which(value)` as expected. `Puppet::Util.which` uses the `PATH` environment variable to resolve paths. On Windows, we also look at `PATHEXT` to account for cases where the file extension is not specified, for example: `ENV['PATH']` should definitely not be `/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin` on Windows, that is the source of the problem. Can you check the following? * Are you running puppet from cygwin, msys, sua, etc? * Have you specified a [path setting](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html#path) in puppet.conf? * What is the output of `puppet agent --configprint path`? * What is the output of `ruby -e "puts File::ALT_SEPARATOR"` ---------------------------------------- Bug #19808: Service provider for windows 2003 - does not work https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19808#change-87639 * 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?
