Tidy not working

[Ugo Bellavance]

Hi,

# puppet -V

2.7.26

(both on server and client).

I created this manifest:

class tidy_dtools_logdir {

  tidy { "/opt/ati/dtools-current-version/log/":

    age     => '1w',

  }

}

Added the class to the node, then ran puppet, then:

cat /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt | grep dtool

tidy_dtools_logdir

Many files in this directory are from September (atime and mtime) but when I run puppet, no file is deleted.

I tried recurse => 'yes' (even if there is no subdir), type => 'mtime'.

It's the first time I try using tidy, am I missing something obvious?

The year?

I'm not trying to be flippant but you are trying to solve a problem on software that was end of life many years ago now.  Even Puppet 3 is end of life in a matter of weeks.   Rather than waste time trying to debug very ancient code (a quick glance at GitHub shows 18 closed pull requests specifically mentioning the tidy resource) you should invest in upgrading, at least to a later puppet 3 set up that people still have vague memories of.

Regards

Craig
