Puppet 2.7.14rc1 is a maintenance release candidate for Puppet in the 2.7.x series.
This release is on the heels of Puppet 2.7.13 because our regular monthly release for April got preempted by our security release. Downloads are available: * Source http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-2.7.14rc1.tar.gz ## Community MVP for this release: Dominic Cleal for #11988 and #13204 - Augeas provider improvements ## Puppet 2.7.14rc1 Highlights ## ## Features ## Puppet Module Tool Face - the module tool has seen a host of improvements including dependency resolution, environment handling, and searching the forge. There are more details available at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_installing.html ## Bug Fixes ## Better warnings about scoping Make new scoping look through inherited scopes Previous to this commit, Puppet would look through a given scope hierarchy and give deprecation warnings when a value was found in either an inherited class scope or included class scope, when it should only give the warning in the case of the included class scope. This commit makes the new-scope behavior also examine inherited scopes, though continuing to ignore included scopes. Implement newlookupvar() to replace dynamic scope lookupvar() is shifted to oldlookupvar() and newlookupvar() is added. An intermediary lookupvar() function will query both and if the answer varies then it will throw a deprecation warning for dynamic scoping. The intermediary and old lookup functions may be removed at a later date, thus completing the transition. A test case has been introduced to detect dynamic scoping and the deprecation warning. Slight modifications to the spec test scoping objects were made to bring them more in line with the real world. All scope tests pass. When oldlookupvar is replaced, the deprecated dynamic scoping test case will fail and all other scope test cases will pass. Augeas Improvements (#11988) Work around Augeas reload bug when changing save modes After saving a file in one save mode and switching to another, Augeas realise to reload the file when Augeas#load is called again. Work around this by explicitly reloading all files we saved while using the first save mode. (#11988) Don't overwrite symlinks in augeas provider Previously, if not running with `force` set, we would try to write the file in SAVE_NEWFILE mode to create a <filename>.augnew file with the changes. We determined whether there were changes to be made based on that file (and used it to show a diff). When it came time to actually make the changes, we would simply move the .augnew file over the file being managed. Unfortunately, if the file being managed were a symlink, this would clobber it. There was a fallback path in the case of force (or older versions of augeas not supporting SAVE_NEWFILE) in which we would make the changes in SAVE_OVERWRITE mode as normal. Now, the behavior is a combination of the two; we still use SAVE_NEWFILE to determine whether changes need to be made and to show a diff, but then remove the .augnew file and always run again in SAVE_OVERWRITE mode to save the changes. This effectively delegates the behavior of preserving the file, etc. to augeas, so we don't duplicate effort or bugs. (#13204) Don't ignore missing PATH.augnew files The original fix for #13204 may have masked other potential bugs if the PATH.augnew file was missing. It simply tested for the file existance and not only when duplicate save events occurred. This change de-duplicates the list of save events instead, so if a bug appeared where PATH.augnew was genuinely missing, the error wouldn't be squashed. (#13204) Workaround duplicate Augeas save events Bug #264 in Augeas causes duplicate save events to be returned when editing under /boot in newfile mode. Because we loop around these events, diffing and unlinking the files, this causes an ENOENT error when we process the same event twice. This commit checks that the file we intend to operate on exists. (#7592) Remove redundant call to String#to_s Previously, the augeas provider made calls like the following: @aug.get(key).to_s Since the Augeas#get method returns a String not an array, the to_s call is redundant. (Note the #match method does return an array.) The augeas tests were stubbing the #get method to return an array in some places (and a string in others). Prior to 1.9.2, ruby will automatically convert ["foo"].to_s to "foo", so everything worked as expected. However, under 1.9.2, ["foo"].to_s becomes "[\"foo\"]". These failures weren't noticed earlier, because our 1.9.2@allFeatures jenkins nodes do not have ruby-augeas installed. In other words, tests that require Puppet.features.augeas? were never running in Jenkins. The recent change to improve augeas testing, removed the dependency on this feature being installed, so these tests started failing. This commit just removes the redundant call to String#to_s, and updates the spec tests to match what the Augeas#get method really returns. Zypper Provider Improvements (#8312) Fix zypper provider so ensure => 'latest' now works Previously the regular expression to match the correct column from 'zypper list-updates' was wrong, it seems to have been based on the command 'zypper packages' instead. This was caused ensure => 'latest' to fail as the provider couldn't adequately figure out what newer versions were actually availabe. So I've fixed the regular expression (based on Felix Frank's patch) and updated the spec test so that it uses the real output from zypper list-updates and now references an external spec file, as apposed to referencing the content inline. Windows Bugfixes (#12392) Created Windows eventlog message resource dll This commit adds the ability to build a message resource dll used to display localized eventlog messages on Windows. Windows eventlog expects that each log event has a unique id, which can then be localized in a resource dll, one for each locale. However, puppet does not yet support this, see #11076. So this commit defines three puppet event ids corresponding to the three levels of Windows events that we support (info, warn, and error). In order to build the dll, you need the Windows SDK installed that contains the mc, rc, and link utilities. (Maint) Don't assume eventlog gem is installed on Windows Previously, the test would fail when run on a Windows box that didn't have the eventlog gem installed. Since the Windows agent should be able to run without the gem installed, and fall back to writing to a log file, this commit changes the test to only run when the gem is installed. There is already a test that verifies that we fall back if the eventlog feature is not available.
