Bug #1904: "alias" metaparameter gives error when used on file resource with 
"recurse => true"
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1904

Author: nwp
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assigned to: luke
Category: file
Target version: 0.25.0
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: 


This is with 0.24.6

Error given is along the lines of:

Could not create /srv/wordpress/plugins/flexi-pages-widget.zip: Parameter alias 
failed: Munging failed for value ["wordpress-plugins"] in class alias: Cannot 
add aliases without a catalog

Where the resource definition is:

  file { "/srv/wordpress/plugins":
    recurse => true,
    alias   => "wordpress-plugins",
    path    => "/srv/wordpress/plugins",
    owner   => root,
    group   => operator,
    source  => "puppet://$servername/wordpress/plugins",
    require => Package["wordpress"],
    notify  => Service["apache2"],
  }


As an aside, this also seems to eat memory like it's going out of fashion. I 
get the impression that recursive file resources internally act as if there is 
one resource per file (although I haven't looked at the code yet) and that this 
fact is the root of both these problems.


Cheers,


Nick
