Custom resource type depends on loading a file store on the Puppet Master about biemond-orawls HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi,

Sorry to hear this you got this strange problem but I can say it works on the following Puppet Enterprise versions 2.7 , 3.0, 3.1 , 3.2 and also 3.3. This is tested by me and some very big Enterprise customers.

But what I can say the internal puppet code is a big mess, Master, Agent or Local options are all using different methods to retrieve and sync the files and all with its own bugs. Together with @hajee we had to do a lot of fixing and testing.

Mostly the PE issues happens because some Puppet services caches the modules and the agents doesn't get the updates. ( plus restart all the services and also start a normal puppet run on the puppet master )

Plus can you remove the current easy_type and orawls modules and get the latest version from github or forge.

Just to be sure can you also send me your testcase.

Thanks

I'd like to remark on a specific section of the puppetlab answer:

I would suggest raising an issue with the module author as even though changing the agents configuration allows for the module to work, the resource shouldn't be loading external files for it to conform to type/provider best practices.

It makes it seem we do something very bad, while in reality the resource does nothing different then a puppetlabs standard type:

file{'a.txt':
  ensure   => present,
  content  => puppet:///module/file.txt,
}

Using an url to get a file. We just use the file different.

Thanks for the quick feedback and sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I have not had a change to look at this again. Close the issue if you prefer, and I can reopen it if needed.
