Puppet users - Jan 2007 - Another ''found a bug'' problem - This time with user purging.

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under
Resources (
http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources),
I assume that users can be purged.

However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true,
noop => true } and what I get is:

err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for
nil:NilClass.

Both my resources and user statements are contained within a class.

Any idea what I''m doing wrong?

Thanks,

Trevor

Can you run the client with --trace added, to hopefully give a stack  
trace?

It seems to be unhappy with the fact that I''m assigning numerous
explicit
groups to some users.

Abbreviated stack trace after error below all entries start at the puppet
install directory (whole paths are in <>):

/type/user.rb:367
/type/user.rb:339:in `instance_eval`
/metatype/relationships.rb:27:in `instance_eval`
/metatype/relationships.rb:27:in `autorequire`
/metatype/relationships.rb:22:in `eachautorequire`
/metatype/relationships.rb:13:in `each`
/metatype/relationships.rb:13:in `eachautorequire`
/metatype/relationships.rb:22:in `autorequire`
transaction.rb:451:in `relationship_graph`
transaction.rb:450:in `each`
transaction.rb:450:in `relationship_graph`
transaction.rb:430:in `prepare`
transaction.rb:258:in `evaluate`
/client/master.rb:116:in `apply`
/client/master.rb:328:in `run`
/client/master.rb:327:in `benchmark`
util.rb:211:in `measure`
</usr/lib/ruby/1.8/benchmark.rb:342:in `realtime`>
util.rb:211:in `benchmark`
/client/master.rb:327:in `run`
/client/master.rb:313:in `synchronize`
/client/master.rb:313:in `run`
</usr/sbin/puppetd:426>

An example of the potentially offending user entries is:

user {
  root:
    allowdupe => false,
    ensure => present,
    gid => "0",
    groups => [ "bin", "daemon", "sys",
"adm", "disk", "wheel" ],
    home => "/root",
    membership => "minimum",
    shell => "/bin/bash",
    uid => "0";
}

This is just mimicking the standard root setup on a Fedora box.

Thanks,

Trevor

Thanks.

I see where the bug is, but I don''t know how it can be occurring.   
Filed as #455.
