puppet source about puppet-archive HOT 11 CLOSED

nope, it currently does not support puppet:///, you can use a file resource + archive with local path, but this won't allow cleanup. This is a new feature request.

@nanliu didn't this happen at some time?

@otteydw what version are you using? Of Archive, that is.

@jyaworski - I am using puppet-archive 0.5.1 which I installed today.

@nanliu How would you go about this workaround? There doesn't appear to be any documentation on local file archive usage.

The duplicate test implies that file:// will suffice.

This works for me. However there was a lot of trial and error here. There are many, many ways to get a silent failure that looks like success.

  $docs_filename = 'help.tar.gz'
  $docs_gz_path  = "/tmp/${docs_filename}"
  $homedir = '/home/myuser/'

  file {$docs_gz_path:
    ensure => file,
    source => "puppet:///modules/profile/${docs_filename}",
  }

  archive { $docs_gz_path:
    path          => $docs_gz_path,
    extract       => true,
    extract_path  => $homedir,
    creates       => "${homedir}/help" #directory inside tgz
    require       => [ File[$homedir], File[$docs_gz_path] ],
  }

Would you be willing to open a PR to update the documentation, to help others avoid this issue?

from puppet-archive.

Done.

If you have examples for those silent errors, please file an issue.

They are mostly surrounding proper usage. For instance: use source instead of path or leave off the creates. The catalog will compile and run successfully, but no useful output will occur.

This feature has been added and released in 2.0.0
