Jira (PUP-2752) Module tool fails to install new modules if some existing modules version is not Major.Minor.Patch format

[Tristan Helmich (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Tristan Helmich created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2752 Module tool fails to install new modules if some existing modules version is not Major.Minor.Patch format Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0 Assignee: Pieter van de Bruggen Components: PMT Created: 11/Jun/14 1:20 AM Labels: moduletool pmt Priority: Critical Reporter: Tristan Helmich Since Puppet 3.6.0 the module tool is unable to install new modules if an already existing modules version does not conform to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format. I believe this behaviour was introduced with the dependency resolver ( https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/6fa68b54ac621d60dbf1b062f8dd66b186d1a87f ) How to reproduce problem: Place a module that does not conform with the X.Y.Z version format in your module folder (e.g. https://github.com/mrintegrity/puppet-pound ). To simulate this with another module just edit the metadata.json accordingly. Try to install another module % grep version modules/pound/metadata.json "version": "0.1", % puppet module --modulepath /some/path/to/your/puppet/modules install --version=2.0.1 --ignore-dependencies saz/rsyslog Notice: Preparing to install into /some/path/to/your/puppet/modules ... Error: Version numbers MUST begin with three dot-separated numbers Error: Try 'puppet help module install' for usage % What I would expect: Only check the version of modules the new module depends on Make it a warning instead of an error to avoid breaking existing setups Output which modules version does not conform the the correct format (to avoid thinking the module being installed is at fault) Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
