Puppet users - Aug 2006 - file type when you create directory inside throw

Hello,

 I have a strange problem this nigth that i cannot solve, perhaps you
can help me understand what is wrong.

I  have a file type that upload a directory into my servers. Inside this
uploaded directory i create subdirectory and files on my own (directly
on the target host). The problem is that when puppet comes back to the
directory it spills out this error:

    err:
    //core1.adn-services.com/baseaqueos/file=/home/aqadmin/puppet/run/ensure:
    change from directory to file failed: Could not set file on ensure:
    Is a directory - /home/aqadmin/puppet/run


for all the directory i created in it that are not on the puppet
fileserver. After this, all  file or operation that i want to use in
this directory structure fails because of:

    notice:
    //core1.adn-services.com/proftpd/file=/home/aqadmin/etc/proftpd.aqueos.conf:
    Dependency file[/home/aqadmin] has 12 failures
    warning:
    //core1.adn-services.com/proftpd/file=/home/aqadmin/etc/proftpd.aqueos.conf:
    Skipping because of failed dependencies




my .pp file is:

        file { "/home/aqadmin":
                ensure  =>      present,
                group   =>      aqusers,
                owner   =>      aqadmin,
                source  =>      "puppet://$puppetserver/aqadmin",
                links       =>      ignore,
                recurse     =>      true
        }


then:

        file { "/home/aqadmin/etc/proftpd.aqueos.conf":
                content =>
template(''/var/puppet/templates/proftpd.aqueos.conf''),
                mode    =>      0640,
                ensure  =>      present
        }


the first throw error because i created directory in  /home/aqadmin , i
really do not see what is the problem with that for puppet, any idea ?
Is it only because this is 2AM and i am missing something ?  I am
fighting one without understanding what causes the trouble.

please capitain , you are our last hoooope  (glaxy quest tone)

Can you try getting rid of the ''ensure'' line?  That''s
set for you
when you use ''source'', and setting it manually will attempt to
override what is determined via ''source''.

This is probably a bug with ''ensure'', but it''s the
behaviour you want
with other parameters.  For instance, if you specify a uid during a
file operation, you want it to override the uid of the source files;
you probably don''t want ''ensure'' to get overridden
though.

Please file this as a bug, but get rid of the ''ensure'' line in
the
mean time.

ok,

i get rid of the ensure line and this worked quite well thanks Luke !!

as it is 2 am again, i will do the bug fill tomorow so a human can
understand what i write (yes at 2am you sometime just speak klingon from
time to time :) )

Thanks for the hint, i will start to be in the shape where i will
shortly deploy puppet and run it on my freebsd server in production. I
just have to work on some sudo magic and cron magic to make it work like
i want (no user crontab, MAILTO set in crontabs and some sudo to wrap
this all thing :)). I will keep you posted about the findings and if
everything works well !
