It appears that in version 0.23 of puppet that how I am trying to create
directories is nor working. If I have a snippet like this:
# Set up the images
file {"$git_web_image_location":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true
}
which becomes:
file {"/var/www/html/images/git":
ensure => directory,
recurse => true
}
I will get a failure if /var/www/html/images/ does not exist. Is this
the correct way to try and create a structure?

Is this by design? Seems like the resurse directive would do this. --- bk Digant C Kasundra wrote:> --On Friday, September 21, 2007 9:07 AM -0400 Bryan Kearney > <bkearney@redhat.com> wrote: > > >> file {"/var/www/html/images/git": >> ensure => directory, >> recurse => true >> } >> >> I will get a failure if /var/www/html/images/ does not exist.

Seems like the resurse directive would do this.The recurse parameter causes downward recursion, and it would be a bit difficult to make it also go upward. That being said, for a long time it was essentially impossible. Now it''s just pretty difficult, and I haven''t had the time to fix it, especially considering how easy the workaround is. -- The death rate on Earth is: .... (computing) ....
