Title: Message Title

Kylo Ginsberg commented on an issue   Re: file provider silent behaviour change for "mode" I can confirm this only when running future parser. E.g.: [2] puppetk git:(master) be puppet apply -e 'file { "/tmp/pup2156": mode => 644, ensure => file } ' Notice: Compiled catalog for kylo.corp.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.42 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/pup2156]/ensure: created Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.07 seconds [3] puppetk git:(master) ls -l /tmp/pup2156 -rw-r--r-- 1 kylo wheel 0 Apr 4 10:00 /tmp/pup2156 [4] puppetk git:(master) be puppet apply --parser future -e 'file { "/tmp/pup2156": mode => 644, ensure => file } ' Notice: Compiled catalog for kylo.corp.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 1.43 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/pup2156]/mode: mode changed '0644' to '1204' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.13 seconds This is intended behavior with future parser, e.g. see: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/experiments_future.html#numbers-are-validated-if-entered-without-quotes Per Cederqvist can you confirm that this was with future parser? Thanks! Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2156 file provider silent behaviour change for "mode" The type reference for file in Puppet 0.25.5 said: {noformat} file { '/some/dir':   mode => 644,   recurse => true, } {noformat} Ref: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/0.25.5/type.html#file I believe that there are many Puppet manifests out there that still writes file mode as 3-digit numbers and expect them to be interpreted as octal. ...
