Description

Here’s the test case:

$ puppet --trace test.pp

--- test.pp
node default {
    host { "test":
        ip => "1.2.3.4",
        target => "/path/to/a/nondefault/hosts"
    }
}

resources { host:
    purge => true
}
---

I have no idea what’s going on here… but methinks it’s a bug…

  • Subject changed from Puppet goes into an infinite recursion with a host with a non-default target and resources { purge => true } to Puppet goes into an infinite recursion with a host and resources { purge => true }

Did another test. The non-default target isn’t required. Remove the “target => ” line and the same thing occurs. New test case:

—– test.pp node default {

host { "test":
    ip => "1.2.3.4"
}

}

resources { host:

purge => true

}

Fixed in the tickets/master/2111 branch in my repo.

This was a doozie – probably the hardest bug I’ve tracked down in a year.
