| Puppet Version: Agent 5.5.14
Puppet Server Version: 6.7.2-1stretch
OS Name/Version: Windows 7 ** I'm not an encoding nor puppet expert, this description is what happens from my point of view: I use a simple file resource to copy a directory test_from.zip to a windows client like this:
file { 'c:/test_to': |
ensure => directory, |
backup => false, |
force => true, |
purge => true, |
recurse => true, |
source => "c:/test_from", |
} |
Unfortunately, the source contains some files with non-unicode characters in their filenames (ASCII-encoded?). These filenames are written to state.yaml and transactionstore.yaml during the agent run. During the next run, puppet tries to read the yaml files (in /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/yaml.rb Puppet::Util::Yaml.safe_load_file) and gives an error as shown below. This may be because safe_load_file assumes the content of the state files to be utf-8 (Puppet::(FileSystem.read(filename, :encoding => 'bom|utf-8')). I know it is/may be mainly an issue of the wrongly encoded filenames, but maybe it is possible to make puppet a little bit more robust. Desired Behavior: Agent run should finish without errors. Actual Behavior: First agent run finishes without errors. From the second run, I get this error:

Workaroud Find all files with "wrong" filenames in source directory and rename them. I copied the state.yaml to a linux machine and issued something like:
:~$ grep -axv '.*' state.yaml |
|
File[c:/test_from/Nat. Bek. Freih�ndige Vergabe.doc]: |
File[c:/test_from/Nat. Bek. Freih�ndige Vergabe.rtf]:
|
Then, I renamed these files. |
