Title: Message Title

Erik Hansen created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7796 An agent should be able to recover from a provider failure Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.10.4 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/07/21 3:07 PM Environment: Tested on Centos 6.7 Labels: maintenance triage Priority: Normal Reporter: Erik Hansen The issue If a provider fails for some reason, even non-dependent catalog resources fail to be applied. To reproduce This test case involves the pip provider. Install pip: curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py" python get-pip.py Now break python so that pip can't properly be invoked: mv /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python.bak ln -s foo /usr/bin/python Create the following manifest and run it with puppet apply: package{'foo': ensure => installed, provider => pip, } notify{'helloworld':} Result We get an error: Notice: Compiled catalog for pe-201720-master.example.com in environment production in 0.11 seconds Error: Failed to apply catalog: [nil] Expected Result Puppet should still apply the notify resource, which isn't dependent on the package in any way. A more helpful error message would also be nice.
