Windows: puppet replaces Windows line endings by Linux line endings when using epp template

[exx3...@gmail.com]

Hello out there,

as puppet newbie I'm trying to create an ini file on Windows 2008 SP2 with puppet 4.8.0.

I'm using an epp template for this purpose:

 file { "${iniFileDir}\\CS2_PKCS11.INI":
   ensure => file,
   content => epp('my_module/CS2_PKCS11.INI.epp'),
 }

The epp file contains Windows line endings. But the resulting ini file has Linux line endings.

How can I change this?

I've found this very similar issue here: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-927

It reports the same behavior for erb templates.

But this issue is considered to be fixed since puppet 4.1.0. Can it be that it never has been fixed for epp templates?

BTW: nearly always when I google a specfic puppet question that arises in practice (like this one) I only find general puppet introduction tutorials. Hardly ever I find the actual answer to my problem. Are there so few puppet users out there? Or are there any tricks I need to know to find the answers?

Thanks and Regards,

Carstem

Not in a nice way. You would need to post process the result and
insert a \r before every \n.

Please file a ticket a reference PUP-927 as the fix for ERB.
(I looked at PUP-927 and see I commented a long time ago that we need to
fix this for EPP as well).

Thanks for your answer, Hernik.

I've filed PUP-6968.

It's a very minimalistic report. I hope it's sufficient.
