Windows: Can't create/update file in user's home directory using template

[Dirk Heinrichs]

Hi,

I've created a simple class for creating/updating a file in a user's home directory on Windows like so:

class put_file ($user = undef, $group = undef) {
  file { 'user_dir':
    path   => "C:/Users/${user}",
    ensure => directory,
    owner  => "${user}",
  }

  file { 'some_file':
    path    => "C:/Users/${user}/somefile",
    ensure  => file,
    content => template('put_file/somefile.erb'),
    owner   => "${user}",
    group   => "${group}",
    mode    => '0666',
    require => File['user_dir'],
  }
}

The home directory exists as the user has been logged in before. However, when I try to apply this class (via agent), I get the following error message:

Error: ReplaceFile(C:/Users/the_user/somefile, C:/Users/the_user/somefile20140303-1756-qjll80):  The system cannot find the file specified.

Any idea what's going wrong here? Both master and agent are running Puppet 3.4.2.

Thanks...

    Dirk

This appears to be PUP-1389[1]. We've fixed a found issue with Windows 2012 and ruby and how they handle the double line terminator. Note that the description is somewhat misleading, this can happen with any file name. We've fixed the issue, you will want to evaluate 3.4.3 to get it. This bug became more prominent once we applied a CVE fix for 3.4.1.

Yes, updating to 3.4.3 fixes the problem.

The description of PUP-1389 was indeed misleading as I checked the release notes before posting to the list and found that none of the fixed issues seemed to apply to my problem. Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

BTW: I had this problem on Windows Server 2008R2.

Bye...

Thanks, I updated the issue name to help some for future searching.
