Issue #4057 has been updated by Johan Huysmans.
Performed my test again with the "filetimeout" option set to 0. The problem didn't occur anymore, so we can conclude that filetimeout option did solve the problem. In my opinion the bug can be closed, or keep it open to make the filetimeout option more visible in the documentation. thx for the help! ---------------------------------------- Bug #4057: update variable not always reflected immediatly in template http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4057 Author: Johan Huysmans Status: Investigating Priority: Normal Assigned to: James Turnbull Category: functions Target version: 0.25.6 Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: In our setup we have a .pp file containing several variables. These variables are used in the templates. We've seen that when the variable is updated this is not immediately visible when running puppet on the clients. This means that puppet is run on the client after updating the variable and the old value still appears in the configuration file. This is how our pp files are structured site.pp <pre> import "variables.pp" node 'node_name' { include class2 } class class2 inherits class1 { ... } class class1 { file { "platform.config": name => "/etc/platform.config", content => template("ALL/etc/platform.config"), owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0644", } } </pre> variables.pp <pre> $platformname = "some name" </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
