Permission problems on Windows

[Armindo Silva]

Hi,

I have a zip file that has some binaries inside, if I unzip it (with 7z) manually and try to run one of the binaries and it just works, if I unzip it using puppet agent:

  exec { 'eMZP':
    command => 'cmd /c 7z x c:\myfolder\my.zip -oc:\myfolder\',
    creates => 'c:/myfolder/mybin.exe',
    require => File['c:/myfolder/my.zip'],
  }

the unziped files don't have exec permissions so I am not able to run them.
As workaround I have been setting the folder's mode but setting the mode on windows is deprecated.

Any ideas/pointers?

Best regards,
Armindo

This is likely due to how Puppet does not inherit permissions down to the folder from the folder above. I thought we had fixed that in a newer version of Puppet though. What version of Puppet are you running on the box(es) in question?

Deprecated, but still usable. The replacement is the acl module[1].

You could try

if $osfamily == 'windows' {

  File {

    source_permissions => ignore }

  # Puppet defaults to applying the ownership and permissions from the source files.(linux permission)
