Windows warning about source permissions

[Michael Legleux]

This warning is haunting me:

Copying owner/mode/group from the source file on Windows is deprecated; use source_permissions => ignore.

It is referenced here:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/windows/writing.html#managing-file-permissions

I am not copying ANY files or anything yet, the site.pp is otherwise blank. What files are PUPPET copying?

This folder is empty:

so I put this in site.pp

if $osfamily == 'windows' {

File { source_permissions => ignore } }

to no avail.

Must I just live with this warning? What gives?

Immediately after the warning it says

Debug: /File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d]: Copying owner from the source file on Windows is deprecated; user source_permissions => ignore.

Debug: /File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d]: Copying mode from the source file on Windows is deprecated; user source_permissions => ignore.

Debug: /File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d]: Copying group from the source file on Windows is deprecated; user source_permissions => ignore.

C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d is empty!

Does the directory already exist? Perhaps the permissions are not set correctly and something is attempting to create that.

What version of Puppet on the master? What version on the agent?

The directory already exists.

Puppet master and agent are both 3.6.2

This is in the debug from the run on the agent.

Debug: Using settings: adding file resource 'pluginfactdest': 'File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d]{:path=>"C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/facts.d", :ensure=>:directory, :loglevel=>:debug, :links=>:follow, :backup=>false}'

Since this warning is coming from the puppet settings catalog[1] and not the regular catalog, I don't believe this would be applied to those items.

I'm a bit surprised to see this issue, unless there is some sort of sync for external facts you are attempting from the master. With the directory being empty it doesn't make sense though. It could be this is just a spot where the setting wasn't applied in the settings catalog. It may be we need to address it.
