Re: find_file function returns path even if absolute path does not exit The function is supposed to return undef/nil if not found, which it appears to do in: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/6.12.0/lib/puppet/functions/find_file.rb#L35-L43. It's possible that code is misbehaving under JRuby, which could affect our Puppet::FileSystem methods. Are you sure the file doesn't exist, as opposed to puppetserver doesn't have read permission to the file, it's a dangling symlink, or something else?
