Jira (PUP-9075) File type "replace => false" doesn't allow to remove the file if "ensure => absent"
Title: Message Title Josh Cooper commented on PUP-9075 Re: File type "replace => false" doesn't allow to remove the file if "ensure => absent" The original behavior comes from https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1750: If I have a File with ensure=>link and replace=>false, and it already exists as a directory, puppet correctly does not change the directory, but also logs an error about not being able to remove the existing directory. The behavior of ensure => absent in combination with replace => false is unspecified in documentation. However, to Eric Sorenson's point, someone is probably relying on the current behavior of never deleting (in addition to modifying) an existing file/link/directory when replace is false.

Title: Message Title Vincent Lours commented on PUP-9075 Re: File type "replace => false" doesn't allow to remove the file if "ensure => absent" Hi Eric Sorenson, Thanks for your answer, and I can understand why you don't want to change it. However I cannot imagine what should be the "normal" behaviour expected by people who set a file 'absent', other than to get it removed. I'm pretty sure that nobody already noticed that the file was not removed after changing the ensure status of this kind of "file" in the hiera config. From my point of view the true behaviour should be to remove it, no matter what. Furthermore, I cannot imagine to remove the "replace" from my manifest, as the file ensure can be different depending of the server type.

Title: Message Title Eric Sorenson commented on PUP-9075 Re: File type "replace => false" doesn't allow to remove the file if "ensure => absent" I think this is happening because of this check in lib/puppet/type/file/ensure.rb # We have to treat :present specially, because it works with any # type of file. def insync?(currentvalue) unless currentvalue == :absent or resource.replace? return true end if self.should == :present return !(currentvalue.nil? or currentvalue == :absent) else return super(currentvalue) end end
