Puppet Windows: scheduled_task : TypeError

[Mohamed Lrhazi]

am trying this:

scheduled_task { 'Puppet Run':
ensure => present,
enabled => true,
command => 'C:\\ruby187\\bin\\puppet.bat',
arguments => 'agent --verbose --logdest C:\\Temp\puppet.log',
trigger => {
schedule => daily,
#every => 2 # Defaults to 1
#start_date => '2011-08-31', # Defaults to 'today'
start_time => '16:00', # Must be specified
}
}

And getting this error:

err: /Stage[main]/Gu_splunk/Scheduled_task[Puppet Run]/ensure: change
from absent to present failed: Could not set 'present on ensure:
TypeError at /etc/puppet/
environments/windows/modules/gu_splunk/manifests/init.pp:84

Another question I have is how do I schedule for every 30 minutes? or
every one hour?

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

Since the scheduled_task type uses the v1 Windows API, being able to set
repetitions at resolutions more fine grained than the daily level isn't
possible, without creating multiple triggers to create the within a day
repetition manually.

If you know of a good Ruby interface to the newer Task Scheduler APIs,
which support this, then it would be possible for someone to write
another provider that supported this.

No, a stack trace would help for that.

Hi Greg,

I believe this is issue https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13008, which I have fixed in my topic branch and is awaiting to be merged into 2.7.x. It would be great if you could try it out and let me know how it goes.

I believe you are correct.  I removed the arguments key/value pair and it ran fine.  I'm patching in your changes to try it with the arguments option.

thank you very much

So.. now I'm getting your error instead of mine.

[Josh Cooper]

Can you try running with --trace and --debug, and adding the stack trace to the ticket?

attached to the ticket.  I won't be able to work on this for about a week though.. other priority just came up.  But let me know and when I can get back on it I will.

[Josh Cooper]

Thanks Greg. Can you attach the manifest you are using (with the
arguments) to the ticket?
