Description

I had the following in one of my manifests:

tidy { yumconf:
path => "/etc/",
recurse => true,
matches => [ "yum.conf.rpmnew", "yum.conf.rpmsave" ]
}

This produced the error:

err: /Stage[main]/Yum::Config/Tidy[yumconf]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'generate': Fileset paths must be fully qualified

The workaround was to change it to:

path => "/etc"

History

#1 Updated by Tim Edwards over 5 years ago

The following line /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/file_serving/fileset.rb in should be changed to chomp any extra /’s:

raise ArgumentError.new("Fileset paths must be fully qualified") unless File.expand_path(path) == path

In Unix both /etc/ and /etc are equally valid so the code should reflect this to avoid needless confusion like I had.

Ugh. Tim did you want to send this to the dev list?

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Development_Development_Lifecycle

or would you like one of us to do it on your behalf?

#3 Updated by Tim Edwards over 5 years ago

If you could do it would be great, I’m just a user of puppet – I don’t have a Git check-out of it nor any development tools or setup for it.

This patch looks great, but we need to write a unit test before merging it into the code base.

#7 Updated by R.I. Pienaar about 5 years ago

commenting on the right ticket…I can confirm the original issue with pluginsync from 0.24.8 to 2.6.4. Have applied this patch to the 2.6.4 master and it solves it without needing to tweak any clients.

It would be fantastic if this can go into 2.6.5

We’re still looking for tests I believe.

We clearly need to resolve this. I’d missed the duplicated ticket where this was the actual problem with 0.24.8 pluginsync.
