Thr behavior change occurred in [501f8f1f](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/501f8f1fc10f30c0a99a34e1c8856fa22db02a87) for #6808. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22576: Puppet 3.3 changes behaviour for file { replace => false } when link is on fs https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22576#change-97755 * Author: Alex Jurkiewicz * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.0 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Hi, Given this config in my manifest: file { '/foo': ensure => present, content => "\n", replace => false, } In Puppet <3.3 it would succeed silently when /foo was a symlink. Now it gives the following error: Warning: /Stage[main]/Soe/File[/foo]: Ensure set to :present but file type is link so no content will be synced Our manifest relies on the behaviour where "replace => false" ignores the file if it is a symlink, can this be made possible again please? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
