Puppet users - Nov 2011 - file Problem after 2.7.6 Upgrade

Hello List,

I´ve update to 2.7.6 (server + clients, from 2.7.1) after reading the
last CVE, now I´ve got a problem with copying a file
to different releases/architectures using a single statement like
this:

file { "/path/to/file/abc.file": source =>
"puppet:///path/to/file/xx-
$fact1-$fact2.file", mode => 640, owner => root, group => root,
checksum => md5; }

puppet agent says:
err: /File[/path/to/file/abc.file]: Could not evaluate: Could not
retrieve information from environment production source(s)
puppet:///files/path/to/file/abc-.repo at /etc/puppet/manifests/base/
base_yum.pp:37

this looks like puppet is missing both facts and therefore cannot
construct the required filename
and therefore cannot copy the file to the client (although the file is
present within the files directory).

the client facts file within /var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts has all the
facts, so it´s not a facter problem - but I
suppose I was using an unsupported feature/bug ?

bye
,
Stefan

try:

source => "puppet:///path/to/file/xx-${fact1}-${fact2}.file"

you can also test the presence of your facts:

notify{"fact1 is ${fact1}": }
 
and run puppetd --test.

There''s been some bugs or regressions wrt variable parsing.

Actually, we needed to fix bugs around classes with hyphens in their name
(which were allowed) and fully qualifying those variables.

Thus hyphens ended up being valid variable characters, and you need to
interpolate the variables explicitly.
