Description

Here is the code I’m using :

# FIXME !!! Terrible bug from the agent rpm that owns / and  /opt for some reason and mess up the permission (g+w)
# We shouldn't have to do that
file{ "/":
  owner   => root,
  group   => root,
  mode    => 0755,
  recurse => false,
}

On puppet 2.6 :

Parameter path failed: File paths must be fully qualified,

On Puppet 0.25.5 :

notice: //mysqld::agent::package/File[/]/mode: mode changed '775' to '755'

More context : It really scares me to have to do that to work around a faulty rpm… We will switch to an exec based statement, But I think it still needs to be marked as a regression as 2.6 can’t manage ‘/’.

Try:

file { '/':
  path    => '/',
  ensure  => directory,
  owner   => '0',
  mode    => '0',
  mode    => '0755',
  backup  => false,  
}

That did the trick :

notice: /Stage[main]/Mysqld::Agent::Package/File[/]/mode: mode changed '775' to '755'

Thanks a bunch ! I’ll use that for now, as my 0.25.5 clients are happy as well

This affects 2.7.x as well … On a 2.7.9 client (Solaris)

err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter path failed: File paths must be fully qualified, not ‘’ The section of the manifest is:

file{'/':
  path   => '/',
  ensure => directory,
  mode   => '0755',
  owner  => '0',
  group  => '0',
  backup => false,
}
