Description
[ Yikes, sorry for the terrible formatting! Here’s try #2 :) ]
Hi,
I’m a *nix admin testing Puppet on Windows for the first time. Everything installed fine but I get “Could not evaluate: can’t convert Fixnum into String” when I run Puppet.
Versions: – Windows 2008 – Puppet 2.7.9 on client and server – Facter 1.6.4
This looks similar to #10586 which is marked as a duplicate of #10614. I don’t know enough to know whether my problem is really related or not.
I’m running Puppet like this: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc>puppet agent —verbose —server puppet.example.com -t —debug —trace —ignores —pluginsync
and I get this stack trace:

I have no idea whether this this is in the right ballpark or not but If I add ‘string = string.to_s’ on line 577 of security.rb it gets further but still has trouble:

“2988” are the last 4 digits of the SID of the user I logged in with (via RDP). I was logged in via RDP as this user when I installed Ruby and Puppet. The cmd window in which I’m running puppet in running as Administrator. (I did become non-administrator when installing at least one gem because of some error about drive H: not being found…unfortunately I can’t find the link that said “If this happens, install as non-Administrator)
Note that running ‘puppet apply’ on this simple file resource works fine:
file { 'c:\Users\happy\Downloads\test.txt':
ensure => 'file',
mode => '660',
owner => 'Administrator',
group => 'Administrators',
content => 'Hi there',
}
Here is the output if ‘puppet config print all’ if that helps.

I receive the same error on win2008 R2 and windows 7. The errors goes away if I include owner and group attributes in the file definition (both set as “Administrators”). The same issue also seems to impact pluginsync where, as far as I know, a owner cannot be applied.

In my case it’s —pluginsync. It’s trying to download our custom facts and hasn’t gotten to processing the catalog yet.
Updated by Mark Plaksin 5 months ago
‘puppet apply’ also works if I try to write to the facts dir like this .pp:
file { 'c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\facter\test.rb':
ensure => 'file',
mode => '660',
owner => 'Administrator',
group => 'Administrators',
content => 'Hi there',
}
It also works if I don’t specify an owner or a group:
file { 'c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\facter\test.rb':
ensure => 'file',
mode => '660',
content => 'Hi there',
}
But it fails as originally described if I try to fetch a file from the Puppet fileserver:
file { 'c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\facter\test.rb':
ensure => 'file',
source => "puppet://puppet.bor.usg.edu/modules/usrlocal/noodle",
}

Updated by Josh Cooper 5 months ago
- Status changed from Investigating to Duplicate
- Parent task set to #8268
- Affected Puppet version changed from 2.7.9 to 2.7.6
So #10586 is actually not fixed when sourcing files from the puppet master (it is only fixed when sourcing files from a non-NTFS volume). Since the original bug report for #10586 was sourcing files from puppet, this bug is a duplicate of that one. I’ll reopen the other bug.
Btw, you can work around this issue by specifying the owner and group in your manifest:
file { 'c:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\lib\facter\test.rb':
ensure => 'file',
owner => 'Administrators',
group => 'Users',
source => "puppet://puppet.bor.usg.edu/modules/usrlocal/noodle",
}

Thanks! Is there an easy way to work around it when puppet is downloading facts via —pluginsync?
Updated by Josh Cooper 5 months ago
- Subject changed from Windows: "Could not evaluate: can't convert Fixnum into String" to Windows fact and pluginsync are broken
- Status changed from Duplicate to Re-opened
- Assignee set to Josh Cooper
- Priority changed from Normal to High
So this is not a duplicate of #10586. This bug really is fact and plugin sync are broken on windows. The Puppet::Configurer::Downloader always attempts to set owner and group to:
:owner => Process.uid,
:group => Process.gid,
For uid, ruby on windows returns the last RID component of the SID. These values need to be set differently on windows

[ Oops, fixing formatting again!]
Thanks for the speedy work!
I manually applied the patch to downloader.rb and now I get something similar to the 2nd stack trace in my original report. It says “Can’t find user happy”. The stack is below. I’m RDP’d in as ‘happy’. I don’t know if it matters but ‘happy’ really a domain account in the ‘USO’ domain. The cmd.exe from which I’m running puppet is running as Administrator. I’m new to doing this sort of thing on Windows so it’s certainly possible I’m just doing something wrong.

Re-opening¶
Seems like there’s a high likelihood we didn’t fix the underlying issue. Josh, this may be a second bug. Just re-opening this to keep the momentum up.

Hi, I’ve had a play with the patch and it works for me as long as…
- UAC is disabled on the box.
- I’ve explicitly run puppet in a cmd.exe of a local account on the machine.
I created a local account as a member of Aministrators on the local machine. Did a ‘runas /user:puppet “cmd.exe”’, and executed puppet agent -t in the new cmd. Custom facts have downloaded and executed and all looks well.
I don’t know much about windows admin, so this may not be a realistic deployment scenario. I think it also requires UAC to be off, which is default for servers but not for desktops (so the above process doesn’t work on a desktop windows 7 box, but is OK on a server built 2008r2).

Reading puppet-dev, I see pull request 280 which sounds related to this. Do I need to test with both 281 and 280 to get the full effect of the fix mentioned in this bug?
Updated by Josh Cooper 5 months ago
I manually applied the patch to downloader.rb and now I get something similar to the 2nd stack trace in my original report. It says “Can’t find user happy”. The stack is below. I’m RDP’d in as ‘happy’. I don’t know if it matters but ‘happy’ really a domain account in the ‘USO’ domain.
Yes, that’s the problem. We use WMI to resolve user names into SIDs, and the issue is that WMI only knows about local accounts. Try the following to confirm:
C:\> wmic path win32_account where (name = 'happy')
You’ll likely get an error about ‘no instances’. We really should be using the LookupAccountName API to resolve the SID. I’ll update this limitation in the window wiki and file a separate bug.

Pull request 280 is only necessary if you have file resources in your manifest that you are sourcing from a remote puppet master, and you haven’t specified what the owner and group should be. Puppet will attempt to copy the Unix uid/gid attributes of the remote file and fail.

We’ve only tested puppet on 2003 and 2008, which is why it hasn’t come up before. Do you get a stack trace when UAC is on?

FWIW, it takes a very long time to return anything. Maybe a whole minute. Facter takes a long time to run too. I’ve started trying to narrow down which facts are slow but haven’t finished doing that yet.

With UAC enabled the issue is that the user (even if it has admin rights), can’t write to various locations, atleast on our setup here. Without UAC and admin user has the expected admin rights, and all works well.

Hi,
Today’s my last day in the office until next year so I’ll be slow to respond for a while. I’m interested in helping to get this fixed and wanted to make sure you didn’t think I disappeared :)
Updated by Josh Cooper 5 months ago
Yes, that’s the problem. We use WMI to resolve user names into SIDs, and the issue is that WMI only knows about local accounts.
My comment above almost sounded like I was responding to Jeff, but I was trying to say that the problem is running puppet under a non-local account.
FWIW, it takes a very long time to return anything. Maybe a whole minute.
Is this just 2008 or 2003 too? Are these VMs or dedicated hardware? Is this just puppet/facter or other applications? We run both as VMs, and 2008 is ridiculously slow. It takes over 20 minutes to run the spec tests.
Facter takes a long time to run too. I’ve started trying to narrow down which facts are slow but haven’t finished doing that yet.
Try running facter with —timing. It will show you how long it takes to resolve each fact. See also #8128.
Updated by Josh Cooper 5 months ago
In any event, it merged pending release may not be the correct state giving the UAC issues being discussed.
I think merged pending release is correct. The UAC thing likely will prevent puppet from being able to do anything, e.g. install packages. I’ve filed this as #11469

(#11408) Fix fact and plugin sync on Windows
Previously, fact and pluginsync were broken on Windows, because it was
defaulting the owner and group to Process.uid/gid, and then failing to
translate them into Windows SIDs.
This commit changes the default file owner to the current user name,
and the default file group to Nobody, which is the group that Windows
typically applies to newly created files.

Josh, I’m seeing this with 2.7.x. Have you seen this before or do you think this is still an issue?

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: validate_re(): "" does not match "^true$|^false$" at /opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules/pe_mcollective/manifests/init.pp:42 on node winvm-09b0d396
I think you are running into #11696, due to the mcollective plugin. Can you remove the pe plugins and verify if the problems persists?

No, that’s a separate known error. The failure is during pluginsync which happens before the catalog is retrieved.

Update¶
I tried installing 2.7.x (2.7.10-224-g47af089, my ticket/2.7.x/1168_downcase_certname_value branch in PR 500) into C:\puppetlabs to avoid the spaces and parentheses in the path name and am still seeing this:

I’m able to reproduce. We’re being too restrictive about validating the metadata path in Puppet::FileServing::Base. When recursing remote files, e.g. pluginsync, the path is the remote Unix style path.

This fixes plugin sync on Windows agents from remote POSIX puppet masters. While fixing this the existing pluginsync acceptance test revealed a related issue in how the default owner and group are assigned to newly downloaded files. Fixed that and added an acceptance test to verify default mode behavior, e.g. readable directories get execute bit, files do not.
