Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on an issue   Re: Regression with external facts pluginsync not preserving executable bit To verify this, on your puppetmaster, create a dummy module: # mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/foo/facts.d # mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/foo/lib/facter Create two executable files: # cat /etc/puppet/modules/foo/facts.d/hello.sh #!/bin/sh echo hello=world # cat /etc/puppet/modules/foo/lib/facter/hello.sh #!/bin/sh echo hello=world Make them executable: root@puppetmaster:/# chmod u+x /etc/puppet/modules/foo/facts.d/hello.sh root@puppetmaster:/# chmod u+x /etc/puppet/modules/foo/lib/facter/hello.sh From the client, do an agent run, it should pluginsync the two files: 0 ~/work/puppet (stable) $ bundle exec puppet agent --server puppetmaster.solar.lan -t Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Notice: /File[/Users/josh/.puppet/var/facts.d/hello.sh]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}75b88a4b2a1395c40a85898438467f9e' Info: Retrieving plugin Notice: /File[/Users/josh/.puppet/var/lib/facter]/ensure: created Notice: /File[/Users/josh/.puppet/var/lib/facter/hello.sh]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}75b88a4b2a1395c40a85898438467f9e' Verify the external fact permissions are executable, but not the other one: 0 ~/work/puppet (stable) $ ls -l ~/.puppet/var/facts.d/hello.sh -rwxr--r-- 1 josh staff 28B Jun 4 18:15 /Users/josh/.puppet/var/facts.d/hello.sh* 0 ~/work/puppet (stable) $ ls -l ~/.puppet/var/lib/facter/hello.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 josh staff 28B Jun 4 18:15 /Users/josh/.puppet/var/lib/facter/hello.sh Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2705 Regression with external facts pluginsync not preserving executable bit As per the subject, the external facts feature in puppet 3.6.1 is partially broken. I've tried to add a script into the <module>/facts.d path and given it executable permissions too. Once the agent runs, it successfully syncs the plugin across in the external facts directory (/var/lib/puppet/facts.d). However, the script lacks the original permissions.
