Jira (PUP-3222) Windows service provider references a non-existent class

[Josh Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper commented on an issue   Re: Windows service provider references a non-existent class The root cause here is that win32-service 0.7.x used to raise Win32::Service::Error when errors occurred. As part of the FFI migration, we moved win32-service to 0.8.4 (see PUP-1283 ), which no longer defines that class. We failed to update the windows service provider during that process. The bug was triggered, because the OP failed to install the mcollective service: C:\marionette-collective\bin>register_service.bat '"ruby"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file So puppet would get an exception when trying to manage the non-existent mcollective serivce. And puppet was trying to rescue a non-existent exception class. I am guessing mcollective failed to register because of the way rubygems writes the ruby.bat file. Puppet vendors ruby in the MSI we produce, and we apply the following patch to work around the rubygems issue: https://gist.github.com/joshcooper/bf4613c1d4e886dad08c Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-3222 Windows service provider references a non-existent class MCollective has a dependency on a windows gem that we had to change as part of the FFI work.
