Issue #3957 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Investigating to Closed
Closed with the back-ported fix. Truncation cannot be replicated. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3957: Bug in truncated PATH statement in cached server YAML file on puppet master http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3957 Author: James Turnbull Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: serialization Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: I found a bug that will happen if the 256th character of your PATH is a colon. My PATH statement happened to be over 256 characters long so puppet truncated it to 256 characters. My work around is to make sure I shorten the path, but it would be nice if puppet would make sure it doesn't end the PATH with a colon when it gets truncated. Original PATH statement on server: $ echo $PATH /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/ bin:/opt/quest/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/games:/ sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/local/sec:/home/ myid/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/ sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape PATH statement in YAML file $ grep path /var/puppet/yaml/node/servername.yaml path: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/ usr/local/bin:/opt/quest/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag:/usr/ games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/local/ sec:/home/myid/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/diag: Puppet produces this error info: Retrieving plugin info: Loading facts in office_name info: Loading facts in office_name err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse YAML data for node servername: syntax error on line 58, col 265: ` path: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/ bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/quest/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/ openmail/diag:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/ netscape:/usr/local/sec:/home/myid/bin:/opt/openmail/bin:/opt/openmail/ diag:' warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
