Description
If you're trying to modify a file with augeas in a directory that doesn't exist (but would be created through dependencies), you get an error when run with --noop.
To replicate, create a file like this:
|
t.pp |
file { "/tmp/augtest":
|
ensure => "directory",
|
}
|
|
|
file { "/tmp/augtest/foobar":
|
ensure => "file",
|
require => File["/tmp/augtest"],
|
}
|
|
|
augeas { "/tmp/augtest/foobar":
|
lens => "Spacevars.lns",
|
incl => "/tmp/augtest/foobar",
|
changes => "set foo bar",
|
require => File["/tmp/augtest/foobar"],
|
}
|
Then run this:
rm -rf /tmp/augtest && puppet apply --noop t.pp
|
And you get this:
Notice: Compiled catalog for swillis-macbook-pro.local in environment production in 0.13 seconds
|
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/augtest]/ensure: current_value absent, should be directory (noop)
|
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/augtest/foobar]/ensure: current_value absent, should be file (noop)
|
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Augeas[/tmp/augtest/foobar]: Could not evaluate: Save failed with return code false, see debug
|
Notice: Class[Main]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 2 events
|
Notice: Stage[main]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
|
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds
|
When run without --noop you get a successful output:
Notice: Compiled catalog for swillis-macbook-pro.local in environment production in 0.13 seconds
|
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/augtest]/ensure: created
|
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/augtest/foobar]/ensure: created
|
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Augeas[/tmp/augtest/foobar]/returns: executed successfully
|
Note that if you use /tmp/foobar as the file being modified by augeas, then you have no such issues, even if the file doesn't exist. Augeas should figure out a way to deal with a missing directory just like it does a missing file.
