Re: [Puppet Users] File resource fails on Windows 7 x64 (other resources with different file works)

[Rob Reynolds]

First question - what version of puppet?

Second question - can you run puppet apply (or agent) with --trace --debug --verbose and post the relevant results? We have some recent fixes related to this.

I have no idea why. I'm using Puppet agent 3.4.2. A very similar resource:

file { 'fusion.exe':
path => 'C:/ProgramData/puppetfiles/fusion.exe',
source => "puppet:///modules/fusionagent/fusion.exe",
owner => 'SYSTEM',
group => 'Administrators',
mode => 0770,
provider => windows,
ensure => present,
}

works...

I'm a Unix guy, and perhaps this is a silly question but...

Does C:/ProgramData/puppetfiles/ directory exists?

Regards

[Laurent Lepinay]

I have a similar issue here, i'm sourcing files from a directory recursively: some files get copied but some throw the same error as yours.

I'm on windows too.

[jmp242]

Puppet 3.4.2, as specified. I've attached a log file.

[Rob Reynolds]

Is this the correct log file for the error you described?

As far as I can tell. I'm on Windows, and it scrolls off the screen. It didn't seem to capture much when I tried to redirect to a file.

[Rob Reynolds]

I didn't see the error that you described (your log notes an issue with forking), but have a look at https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1389 (which speaks of the require_file issues you describe). We've recently fixed that issue and it will be in the next release. I'm not sure these are the same issues, however.

Here's another test where I just added --test to your command, and passed to a log file. It should show my issue. Anyway, it does look very similar an error, though I can't figure out why any of the string manipulation would fail on openvpn.exe and not on fusion.exe ...

[Josh Cooper]

There are actually two different issues here:

From the log file: "Error: Could not run: fork() function is unimplemented on this machine"

This is https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1275. You either need to explicitly specify --onetime, or --test (which automatically sets onetime). Unfortunately this means you cannot setup a listening puppet agent and use kick on it. This is a regression introduced in http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17361

This is https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1389. This was due to memory corruptions in the windows gems we use (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1368), and a ruby bug with wide-character NULLs (http://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?revision=41920&view=revision) that will sometimes cause this error. This issue is resolved in the 3.4.3 release.
