Highlights for 2.7.7rc1
## (10269) Search bit not set on newly created directories
Previously, puppet would not set the user, group, or other
execute/search bits for newly created directories. This was a
regression introduced in 2.7.6 in commit
22bfd9ce83ff52d909a43c370ba71112ed4961a4.
This was caused because the dirmask''ing was occurring when munging
the
mode property, but that was occurring prior to the ensure property
being synced, which is when the directory is actually created. And
since the directory did not exist, the executable bits were never
added.
Similar failures would occur if the path referred to a non-executable
file or link that we wanted to change to a directory.
This commit reverts the changes to the dirmask and munge methods, and
moves the call to dirmask back to the retrieve method. This way we can
be sure that the directory has been created by the time we call
dirmask.
Ideally, we could know at munge time whether we are going to create a
directory as opposed to a file or link. But the logic for that depends
on many other properties, e.g. source, target, etc. The easiest thing
is to just revert the change.
## Maint: Revise reference text for most types and providers
This documentation-only commit makes edits for wording, clarity,
accuracy, and
formatting to the description strings in 64 type and provider
files, with the aim
of improving the type reference
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html).
## (7601) Use << instead of += in references
This commit refactors some reference code to use the "<<"
string append
operator instead of the slower-but-equivalent += operator. (Offending
instances left in lib/puppet/reference/metaparameter.rb and
lib/puppet/reference/indirection.rb are slated for deletion in a subsequent
commit.)
## (9109) Retrieve request parameters from the request body for POSTs
When using Puppet with Mongrel, the facts were being lost with 2.7.0+
clients, since they were switched over to using POST requests for fact
submission. This was happening because the request parameters were
only being retrieved from the query parameters of the URL, which will
not include the POSTed data.
We now merge the body of the post together with the query parameters
when dealing with POST requests.
We also rewind the request body after reading it, since retrieving the
request body multiple times would return an empty string after the
first time.
## (10244) Restore Mongrel XMLRPC functionality
This code was over-eagerly removed, when it turns out to actually
still be necessary for backward compatibility with XMLRPC clients.
## (10161) Parenthesize method arguments
Ruby 1.8.6 issues warnings when arguments to nested methods are not
parenthesized, e.g.
f.puts(YAML.dump metadata)
results in:
warning: parenthsize arguments(s) for future versions
These warnings were introduced during Windows development, but not
noticed on that platform due to using ruby 1.8.7, which doesn''t
issue
a warning. This commit just wraps the arguments in parenthesis.
In addition to the items mentioned above, there were a slew a
testing/spec improvements around order dependent tests, and testing on
Windows.
