Jira (PUP-8545) puppet 5/ruby 2.4 can't handle invalid plists

[Clay Caviness (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Clay Caviness commented on PUP-8545   Re: puppet 5/ruby 2.4 can't handle invalid plists This happens because puppet prefetches resources for the launchd service provider. The code is triggered if there's any malformed plists it the /Library/LaunchDaemons directory, whether they're managed my puppet or not. This only triggers a warning; puppet continues processing. Trimmed debug output: {{Debug: Prefetching launchd resources for service [...] Debug: Reading launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/good.plist Debug: Reading launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist }}Debug: Failed with CFFormatError on /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist: #<CFFormatError: invalid XML: Malformed comment Line: 10 Position: 383 Last 80 unconsumed characters: > Debug: Plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist ill-formatted, converting with plutil Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/plutil -convert xml1 -o /dev/stdout /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist' Warning: Cannot read file /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist; Puppet is skipping it.\nDetails: Execution of '/usr/bin/plutil -convert xml1 -o /dev/stdout /Library/LaunchDaemons/badcomment.plist' returned 1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> {{ <key>KeepAlive</key>}} {{ <true/>}} {{ <key>Label</key>}} {{ <string>badcomment</string>}} {{ <key>ProcessType</key>}} {{ <string>Background</string>}} {{ <key>ProgramArguments</key>}} {{ <array>}} {{ <string>/bin/true</string>}} {{ </array>}} {{ <key>RunAtLoad</key>}} {{ <true/>}} </dict> </plist> /dev/stdout: Operation not supported Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
