Hi Rudy,
I'm not sure if you fixed this yet, but I ran into the same problem
using grep in an unless parameter of an exec resource.
I went looking through the Ruby code, in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/
puppet/type/exec.rb on line 571. I changed these four lines:
unless FileTest.executable?(exe)
raise ArgumentError,
"'#{exe}' is not executable"
end
To just a single line like the one above:
raise ArgumentError, "'#{exe}' is not executable" unless
FileTest.executable?(exe)
And then Puppet stopped complaining. I thought this doesn't make any
sense at all, so I changed it back... Puppet still worked. I removed
and reinstalled the RPM, Puppet is back to complaining about grep not
being executable. I then just touched exec.rb and the problem is
magically fixed again.
I don't know very much about Ruby, so I'm just going to back away
very, very slowly, arms raised in the air to ward off evil ;)
But seriously, is there a Ruby guru who might know what's going on
here? I can even reproduce the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling
the puppet RPM - not sure how long it's going to stay broken though,
we'll see.
