Hello everyone. I'm running in to trouble setting/changing environment
variables for exec resources in 2.6.2. If the environment variable exists
before I try to run the command, puppet can't seem to change it. For example,
exec {"foo":
environment => "PATH=/blah",
command => "/bin/bash -c \"echo \$PATH\"",
logoutput => true;
}
returns the old PATH value. Now, if I make up a new variable that didn't exist
prior to the exec, like MYVAR, it works.
exec {"foo2":
environment => "MYVAR=MYVAL",
command => "/bin/bash -c \"echo \$MYVAR\"",
logoutput => true;
}
returns MYVAL. Here's where it gets weird. I get the same exact behavior if I
set the variable in the bash command string.
exec {"foo3":
command => "/bin/bash -c \"export PATH=/blah; echo \$PATH\"",
logoutput => true;
}
returns the old PATH value. While this returns MYVAL,
exec {"foo4":
command => "/bin/bash -c \"export MYVAR=MYVAL; echo \$MYVAR\"",
logoutput => true;
}
Is this an actual bug or am I missing something?
