Hello, I've created a little class which should unpack a 7z archive on Windows. The class has a parameter for passing in the archive version, so that I can trigger an update when a new version of the archive is available. A simplyfied version looks like this (requires 7z):
class my_archive ($version = undef) { file { 'version': path => 'C:/the_version', content => $version, ensure => present, mode => 0666, } # Extracting archive creates C:/some/dir exec { 'unpack_archive': command => "cmd /c rmdir /S /Q C:\some/dir & 7z x -oC:/some C:/path/to/archive-${version}.7z", creates => 'C:/some/dir/a_file', require => File['version'], path => $::path, subscribe => File['version'], } } I trigger this from site.pp like so: class { 'my_archive': version => '1.2.3' } The initial unpacking of (an older version of) the archive works fine, but when I change the version, I see that this change is recognized by the agent and a refresh is triggered, but the command isn't executed: Info: /Stage[main]/My_archive/File[version]: Filebucketed C:/the_version to puppet with sum 185910a1e94c599dc6541266286675bc Notice: /Stage[main]/My_archive/File[version]/content: content changed '{md5}185910a1e94c599dc6541266286675bc' to '{md5}d0cdd9a6594750ea1063643fcda90d3b' Debug: /Stage[main]/My_archive/File[version]: The container Class[My_archive] will propagate my refresh event Info: /Stage[main]/My_archive/File[version]: Scheduling refresh of Exec[unpack_archive] Debug: /Schedule[weekly]: Skipping device resources because running on a host Debug: Prefetching windows resources for package Notice: /Stage[main]/My_archive/Exec[unpack_archive]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events Debug: /Stage[main]/My_archive/Exec[unpack_archive]: The container Class[My_archive] will propagate my refresh event Debug: Class[My_archive]: The container Stage[main] will propagate my refresh event Debug: /Schedule[puppet]: Skipping device resources because running on a host Debug: Finishing transaction 144533424 Debug: Storing state Debug: Stored state in 0.06 seconds Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.75 seconds I tried to omit "creates => ...", but this only makes the agent run the resource every time. I also tried adding "refreshonly => true", but this doesn't help. I even tried adding "refresh => ..." with the exact same command without any change in behaviour. Any hints what could be wrong? Puppet Agent version on Windows is 3.1.0. Thanks... Dirk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
