Issue #19318 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Accepted to Needs More Information
Assignee set to Andrew Dunkman
In 3.0.1, we did not handle loading code from gems reliably. The error below
occurs because facter didn't load rubygems, and then loaded puppet, which
assumed rubygems had been loaded prior to accessing the win32 specific gems:
<pre>
C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin>facter.bat
Cannot run on Microsoft Windows without the sys-admin, win32-process, win32-dir,
win32-service and win32-taskscheduler gems: no such file to load -- sys/admin
Could not retrieve puppetversion: Cannot determine basic system flavour
</pre>
This was resolved in 3.1, as each of the application entry points
`bin/{puppet,facter}` handle this now.
With that said, I don't think this has anything to do with the problem you are
seeing. Since the type is getting loaded, and the operatingsystem fact is
windows, then the provider is almost certainly not suitable, because of the
command:
<pre>
commands :cmd => "#{Dir::WINDOWS}\\system32\\cmd.exe"
</pre>
Either the win32-dir gem isn't loaded (which adds the `WINDOWS` constant to
`Dir`), or there's an issue with filesystem redirection, or for some reason
`Puppet::Util.which` is returning `false`. Try replacing the command with the
literal string 'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe'.

Bug #19318: Resource providers don't recognize Windows Server 2012 as windows
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19318#change-89653
* Author: Andrew Dunkman
* Status: Needs More Information
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Andrew Dunkman
* Category:
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1
* Keywords: windows 2012
* Branch:
----------------------------------------
Facter seems to recognize the machine as windows, but "operatingsystem" doesn't
seem to be set to windows when the puppet run is completing.
The type and provider in question run as expected on Windows Server 2008 R2 and
Windows 7, but does not on Windows Server 2012.
Output from the puppet agent showing the error (some irrelevant output omitted):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin>puppet.bat agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
...
Info: Caching catalog for illum-app-sftk-ks
Info: Applying configuration version '1361197550'
Error: Could not find a suitable provider for env
Finished catalog run in 2.54 seconds
The "env" type in question:
Puppet::Type.newtype(:env) do
@doc = "Manages environmental variables."
ensurable do
desc "Environmental variable state."
defaultvalues
newvalue(:present) do
provider.create
end
newvalue(:absent) do
provider.destroy
end
end
newparam(:name, :namevar=>true) do
desc "The environmental variable name."
end
newparam(:value) do
desc "The value of the environmental variable."
end
end
The resource provider that should be running:
Puppet::Type.type(:env).provide(:windows) do
@doc = "Manages Windows environmental variables."
confine :operatingsystem => :windows
defaultfor :operatingsystem => :windows
commands :cmd => "#{Dir::WINDOWS}\\system32\\cmd.exe"
def create
cmd '/C', 'setx', '/M', resource[:name], resource[:value]
end
def destroy
cmd '/C', 'setx', '/M', resource[:name], ''
end
def exists?
ENV[resource[:name]] == resource[:value]
end
end
Output from Facter:
