I can't say for sure, but a few things to help you troubleshoot. On
the master run puppet master --compile $hostname and compare the
output for the file resource in 2.6 v.s. 2.7. Here's a simple example:
{
"exported": false,
"line": 21,
"title": "/tmp/sample",
"parameters": {
"ensure": "file"
},
...
"type": "File",
"file": "/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp"
},
So the first thing is making sure they are the same, the second is
write a test manifests with all your attributes on the 2.7 system and
see how it behaves:
file { "/path/to/file":
ensure => file,
...
source => [...],
}
Thanks,
Nan
