Jira (PUP-1038) puppet fails if template contains invalid utf-8

[Charlie Sharpsteen (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Charlie Sharpsteen commented on an issue   Re: puppet fails if template contains invalid utf-8 This was fixed in commit 40c67e2. The agent now treats file content as binary blobs. In most cases, a template is the wrong tool to use for transferring static content such as binary blobs. The content for these files should be synced using the source parameter. However, I suspect this use of templates may be occurring in masterless Puppet setups. Erik Dalén, was this the use case you were thinking of when you migrated this ticket from Redmine? Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1038 puppet fails if template contains invalid utf-8 If you attempt to use a file resource with a 'content' parameter pointing at a template, and the template contains binary content, you may get an error like this: {code}     Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter content failed: Munging failed for value ...     invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 {code} I've reproduced the failure in 2.7.16 and 3.x...
