Issue #21307 has been reported by Adrien Thebo. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21307: File monitoring treats absent files as always changed. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21307
* Author: Adrien Thebo * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: parser * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The implementation of `Puppet::Util::LoadedFile` tracks a file by monitoring the file ctime. If a file is nonexistent and cannot have a ctime, every time the file is checked for changes ctime will be set to the current time. Since this value is constantly changing the file will always be marked as changed. ### Expected behavior If a file is initially absent and is still absent when rechecked, it should be unchanged. ### Actual behavior A file that is absent will be marked as always changed. - - - Note: as of commit 3a19fff52c15266a3171b9bcf93bc1db1788c3b8 the LoadedFile has been refactored and renamed WatchedFile but this behavior is still present. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
