puppetlabs/concat Problem on Windows

[Fraser Goffin]

Hi,

I am attempting to use the puppetlabs/concat module on Windows, but having some problems. To keep things really simple since it illustrates the problem, here is the mainfest I'm using (note: it just uses concat at this stage) :-

class concat_file {
 
  concat { 'E:/Temp/puppetTests/myfiles/concatFile.txt':
    ensure => present,
  }
}

When run the following is output :-

Warning: Copying owner/mode/group from the source file on Windows is deprecated; use source_permissions => ignore.
   (at D:/Apps/puppet/puppet/lib/puppet/type/file/source.rb:133:in `block in copy_source_values')
Debug: /Stage[main]/Concat::Setup/File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/concat/bin/concatfragments.rb]: Copying owner
from the source file on Windows is deprecated; use source_permissions => ignore.
...
Error: /Stage[main]/Concat::Setup/File[C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/concat/bin/concatfragments.rb]: Could not evaluate:
Could not read file C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/concat/bin/concatfragments.rb: Permission denied -
C:/ProgramData/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/concat/bin/concatfragments.rb

followed by a number of other consequent errors.

The Warning is fair enough, but obviously I can't add source_permissions as a param since the concat manifest doesn't support it and will throw and invalid param error if I try. Its just a warning so OK, lets move on.

As part of setup (now included by default in init.pp) concatfragments.rb is copied to location shown, but clearly does not have permissions to read it ?

If I look at this file I can see that it indeed does not have read (or any other) permissions set.

I tried adding values user, group and mode but to no avail.

Can anyone suggest what I need to do here ?

Kind Regards

Fraser.

Shot in the dark: Is the agent running without Admin privileges?

Hello

As it is a param to the file resource you could set it as the default with

File { source_permissions => ignore, }

Be warned that it may mess up other file resources.

I just found out that Richard has made an alternative that explicitly
does support Windows:
