Bug #20471: Strange behaviour with file backup and purge
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20471
* Author: Jan Örnstedt
* Status: Unreviewed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* Category:
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 2.7.21
* Keywords: file backup purge
* Branch:
----------------------------------------
Create this manifest:
$backup = '.old'
$fragdir = '/tmp/bug'
File {
backup => $backup
}
file { $fragdir:
ensure => directory,
}
file { "${fragdir}/fragments":
ensure => directory,
force => true,
purge => true,
recurse => true,
}
file { "${fragdir}/fragments/file.a":
ensure => present,
content => 'Filename = file.a',
}
file { "${fragdir}/fragments/file.b":
ensure => present,
content => 'Filename = file.b',
}
Run it
$ puppet apply
Check result
$ find /tmp/bug
/tmp/bug/
/tmp/bug/fragments
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.a
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.b
Remove the last file statement i.e remove file.b from the manifest.
Rerun the manifest
$ puppet apply
Check result
$ find /tmp/bug
/tmp/bug/
/tmp/bug/fragments
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.a
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.b.old
Rerun yet another time
$ puppet apply
Check result
$ find /tmp/bug
/tmp/bug/
/tmp/bug/fragments
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.a
/tmp/bug/fragments/file.b.old.old
File file.b will get yet another .old tagged on for each new run.
