Jira (PUP-2131) Race Condition between File/recursive directory and Exec script

[Andy Parker (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Andy Parker created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2131 Race Condition between File/recursive directory and Exec script Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Catalog Application Created: 01/Apr/14 11:10 AM Priority: Major Reporter: Andy Parker Summary: Leveraging Puppet to copy a directory of scripts and then execute a series of scripts in the copied directory may lead to a race condition. class change_detection { file { '/var/tmp/scripts': ensure => directory, recurse => true, source => "puppet:///modules/mymodule/scripts", } exec { 'env': command => "/var/tmp/scripts/test.sh", user => 'root', subscribe => File['/var/tmp/scripts'], } } The above Puppet code generates errors in the catalog related to the test.sh script in the Exec not being present on the filesystem, which is probably caused by the File/recursive directory copy still occurring at the time. I have several prospects who have recently run into this issue and have to agree with them in that a typical Puppet user would expects that all underlying tasks to copy the directory recursively should happen before the Exec script execution.
