Issue #21409 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
This looks to be that the exec resource considers `:name` to be equivalent to `:command` since `:command` is a namevar. When the resource tries to set a parameter is sends it through a little translation done by `Puppet::Resource#parameter_name(param)` which will convert it to the namevar if the `param == :name` and there is a namevar defined. We can see this happening in this case with: <pre> irb(main):012:0> r.send(:parameter_name, :name) => :command </pre> ---------------------------------------- Bug #21409: create_resources ignore exec type's command attribute https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21409#change-94634 * Author: liu changyuan * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Andrew Parker * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.2 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- my environment is * CentOS 6.4 * Ruby 1.8.7-352 * Puppet 3.2.2 * installed by rpm packages. yesterday, i used enc program to call create_resources function, then i found a bug here. just for test, when i use this command: <pre>puppet apply -e 'create_resources(exec,{"ls"=>{command=>"/bin/ls -l",logoutput=>true,provider=>shell}})'</pre> the result is： <pre> Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: anaconda-ks.cfg Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: foreman-1.1stable-3.el6.noarch.rpm Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: foreman-release-1.1stable-3.el6.noarch.rpm Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: install.log Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: install.log.syslog Notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[ls]/returns: executed successfully Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.22 seconds </pre> it's not looks like 'ls -l' style. i checked the source code, and that it seems because when puppet creating the exec resources, the sequence of assign the values to attributes was 1. command => /bin/ls -l 2. provider => shell 3. name => ls 4. logoutput =>true the command attribute was assigned before then name, and when name attribute was assigning, the command attribute will be replaced to 'ls'. i added a puts line after /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/resource.rb 218 line , to print some debug info. <pre>puts p.to_s + " => " + v.to_s + ", result is: " + result.inspect</pre> run the command again, the printed debug info is. <pre> command => /bin/ls -l, result is: Exec[ls]{:command=>"/bin/ls -l"} provider => shell, result is: Exec[ls]{:command=>"/bin/ls -l", :provider=>"shell"} name => ls, result is: Exec[ls]{:command=>"ls", :provider=>"shell"} logoutput => true, result is: Exec[ls]{:command=>"ls", :provider=>"shell", :logoutput=>true} </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
