Issue #23247 has been reported by Tony Kolstee. ---------------------------------------- Bug #23247: Temporary file not cleaned up when download of file content fails https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/23247
* Author: Tony Kolstee * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.4 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- file.rb comments indicate that a temporary file is always used when deploying a new file of nonzero length. Presumably the temporary file should be deleted in the event that the file operation fails, but in at least one circumstance the empty temporary file is being left in place. I recently ran into a situation where a typo in the auth.conf on one of my puppet masters was causing clients to see ERROR 400 sporadically when trying to download file metadata and/or content. This was leaving an empty temporary file on the client. In my particular case, the file being deployed was in facts.d and was interacting with a facter bug (#22622) which causes facter to die when an empty executable is present in this directory. This interaction was effectively disabling both puppet client and facter until the empty temporary file was manually deleted. I know this behavior is present in puppet-3.2.4, but am not aware whether it exists in other versions. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
