Description
This fails if the directory /var/local/sandbox does not exist:
file { “/var/local/sandbox/test”: ensure => directory }
I don’t know if it’s by choice (I would personally prefer that it would create the directory) or if it’s a bug, so I’m opening a ticket on it since it’s not documented.
Using mkdir -p would probably work, although I’m not sure about the permissions of the directories created in the path to the new one…
