Weird error message

[Martin Englund]

Folks,

I'm getting a strange error message from puppet:
Thu Oct 30 09:30:27 -0700 2008 //Node[default]/base/zfs/File[/usr/ops/
bin/create-zpool.sh] (err): Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: undefined method `[]' for :che:Symbol

I thought I'd ask if someone has seen this before I start digging
deeper.

cheers,
/Martin

What does the definition of that file resource look like?

[martin]

It is very ordinary:

file { "/usr/ops/bin/create-zpool.sh":
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 755,
source => "puppet:///files/usr/ops/bin/create-
zpool.sh",
ensure => present
}

/M

This only happens on one file, right?

Unless I'm reading the stack and the code wrong, I suspect there is something corrupted in the yaml cache for the md5.

Let's try removing that and see if it works.  Don't just delete it though, send it to the list and let's see if there is some forensic value.  If that doesn't fix it, then this is truly curious and time to roll up the sleeves... :/

It turned out that the file had gotten corrupted and unfortunately my
fingers were faster than my brain, so I managed to delete the file
before I could send it to the list...

If it happens again I'll make sure to save a copy :)

cheers,
/Martin
