Multiple resource bodies?

[dkoleary]

Hey;

According to the puppet language resource guide at https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_resources_advanced.html:

If a resource expression includes more than one resource body, the expression will declare multiple resources of that resource type. (A resource body is a title and a set of attributes; each body must be separated from the next one with a semicolon.)

With that, can someone take a peek and tell me what I'm messing up with this manifest?

file {
  default:
    ensure   => 'directory',
    owner    => 'root',
    group    => 'root',
  ;


  '/'        : mode  => '0755' ;
  '/home'    : mode  => '0755' ;
  '/opt'     : mode  => '0755' ;
  '/usr'     : mode  => '0755' ;
  '/var'     : mode  => '0755' ;
  '/tmp'     : mode  => '1777' ;
  '/var/tmp' : mode  => '1777' ;


  '/etc/passwd':
    ensure   => 'file',
    mode     => '0644',
  ;
  '/etc/group':
    ensure   => 'file',
    mode     => '0644',
  ;


  '/etc/shadow':
    ensure   => 'file',
    mode     => '0000',
  ;


  '/etc/rc.d/init.d':
    mode     => '0755',
    recurse  => true,
  ;
}

I'm not seeing the error; but, when I try to apply it, I get:

$ sudo puppet apply ./file.pp

Notice: Compiled catalog for node1.olearycomputers.com in environment production in 0.04 seconds

Error: Parameter path failed on File[/]: File paths must be fully qualified, not '' at /ignite/dkoleary/mpi_git/puppet/modules/mpicommon/manifests/file.pp:1

Any pointers, greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 

Maybe you can regroup each item with the same configuration, like this:

 

$file_system_list = [‘/’,’/home’,’/opt’]

 

$file_system_list.each | String $file_system| {

  file {“$file_system”:

    ensure => ‘directory’,

    owner => ‘root’,

    group => ‘root’

  }

}

Hey;

Thanks for the response.  I'm trying to work my way into iteration a bit slower than my fourth manifest :)  If all else fails, I'm pretty sure I can set up separate file resource declarations; but, this multiple resource bodies, in this case, seems like this is cleaner.

Thanks

I would be willing to bet '/' is somewhat special and may be the problem. I've never actually tried to manage the root of the FS directly and I think the need to may indicate some more significant issues than puppet should be handling.

You could also look at pl_training/dirtree, which lets you manage a single directory and it will create intermediate directories as needed with the same owner/group/mode.

From what I can tell by reading through that, your manifest looks ok in
terms of multiple bodies and use of defaults.

The problem is known. See https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1796
which has a work around using '/.' (which may or may not work according
to the comments on that ticket).

Yes, known problem.
See https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1796

That may work around the problem in PUP-1796.

Hey;

Thank you all for the information.  That was definitely the issue.  I'm not overly worried about '/' so I just took it out - primarily had it in there for completeness.  In nigh on 30 years of admin, I think I've had someone change the ownership of root maybe twice.  Those other directories - that tends to happen more often.  

Any rate, thanks again.  I appreciate it.
