Description
Basic Info
Module Version: Reproduced with 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 (dsc_lite) and 1.2.0 and 1.7.0 (dsc)
Puppet Version: Reproduced on 5.5.7 and 6.1.0
OS Name/Version: Windows Server 2016 (vmpooler 20180912)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Get a win-2016-x86_64 vm on vmpooler
- Install a modern Puppet agent on the VM
- Open PowerShell
- Install the dsc or dsc_lite module: puppet module install dsc_lite
- Set the $env:lib environment variable to something invalid: $env:lib = "C:\invalidpath";
- Create any valid dsc resource and save it to a .pp file (example below)
- Apply any valid dsc or dsc_windowsfeature resource: puppet apply --debug test.pp
Desired Behavior:
When running Puppet code that invokes dsc or dsc_lite and the LIB environment variable contains invalid paths, it fails with a useful error message.
Actual Behavior:
Puppet fails while compiling C# code within init_ps.ps1 with a cryptic no implicit conversion of nil into String message.
PS C:\Users\Administrator> puppet apply .\test.pp
|
Notice: Compiled catalog for skgy0pz2oeoiz3b.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.15 seconds
|
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Dsc[iis]: Could not evaluate: no implicit conversion of nil into String
|
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.57 seconds
|
test.pp contains any valid dsc resource. In this specific case, it's this example from the dsc_lite module docs:
dsc {'iis':
|
resource_name => 'WindowsFeature',
|
module => 'PSDesiredStateConfiguration',
|
properties => {
|
ensure => 'present',
|
name => 'Web-Server',
|
}
|
}
|
or this example from the dsc module docs:
dsc_windowsfeature {'IIS':
|
dsc_ensure => 'present',
|
dsc_name => 'Web-Server',
|
}
|
Debug output with dsc_lite:
