This has been fixed upstream, and is targetted for 0.24.7, turns out it wasn't a documentation bug afterall, but an actual bug.
Thanks for filing it, micah ----- Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Puppet - Bug #1660] (Closed) tidy recurse section of documentation should list valid values Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 04:50:48 +0000 (UTC) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Issue #1660 has been updated by jamtur01. Status changed from Ready for Checkin to Closed Target version changed from unplanned to 0.24.7 Pushed in commit:"57e791b9e7da931e61dd8dfc0f68bd13cf2e6449" in branch 0.24.x ---------------------------------------- Bug #1660: tidy recurse section of documentation should list valid values http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1660 Author: micah Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assigned to: jamtur01 Category: file Target version: 0.24.7 Complexity: Trivial Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: tidy, type reference, file, recurse The documentation which describes the recurse option of 'tidy' doesn't show the valid values, it should be more like the recurse section of 'file' (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#file) which describes the valid values: "Whether and how deeply to do recursive management. Valid values are true, false, inf. Values can also match (?-mix:^[0-9]+$)." Tidy simply says: "If target is a directory, recursively descend into the directory looking for files to tidy." People tend to think that the tidy { recurse => ... } values can be the same as the file values, and then put 'inf' in as a value, which does not work for tidy (you need to use recurse => true instead). ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
