Puppet users - Jan 2009 - File 'replace => false' doesn't match my expectations...

Sorry if I missed this in the documentation...

Does this work according to its design?

When I configure this file with a template and CHANGE the file on the
client server, puppet detects a change and overwrites the file:
file { "jboss-config":
    path    => "/etc/sysconfig/jboss",
    ensure  => present,
    replace => false,
    owner   => root,
    group   => root,
    mode    => "0644",
    content => template("/var/puppet/modules/atg/files/jboss-
config.erb"),
    require => Package["jboss-${release}"]
}

BUT when I configure this file with a source:
file { "jboss-config":
    path    => "/etc/sysconfig/jboss",
    ensure  => present,
    replace => false,
    owner   => root,
    group   => root,
    mode    => "0644",
    source  => "puppet://$servername/atg/jboss-config",
    require => Package["jboss-${release}"]
}

puppet does NOT overwrite a changed file on the client server.

I expected no overwrites in either situation.

Jeff,

What version of Puppet are you using?

I could not reproduce this behavior with either content or source.

When replace was false the file was not changed.

When I changed the file on disk, the logs say that the checksum changed and
that is replaced in the file bucket.

If you can consistently reproduce the behavior, open an issue with the
steps.

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

Each time I used a template, it overwrote a changed file. Each time I
used a source, it did not.

Version: 0.24.4

I just tested one more time to make sure. The results were the same.
If I used a template AND replace => false, it still overwrote a
modified file. If I used source AND replace => false, it did not.

Definitely not the right behaviour, and fixed in recent releases.
