[Puppet Users] Replacing file errors: getaddrinfo: No such host is known

[pskovshurik]

Hi guys,

I am new to Puppet and have a very strange error that I cannot seem to 
solve. I am using Puppet Master 3.4.1 with Apache/Passenger config in 
CentOS and my Puppet Agent in Windows. 

When I try to create a file that doesn't exist using Puppet, it works fine. 
In this case, I am simply creating C:\test.txt file.

C:\>puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for sstm-mntr01.colo.svg.local
Info: Applying configuration version '1389894672'
Notice: /Stage[main]/Createfile/File[testfile]/ensure: defined content as 
'{md5} 803d1a275b8c8c4cc084d54c78c2ed61'
Notice: Finished catalog run in 2.39 seconds

All is well. Now, if I edit the file and save it, and rerun the above 
command, I get this:

C:\>puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Caching catalog for sstm-mntr01.colo.svg.local
Info: Applying configuration version '1389894672'
Notice: /Stage[main]/Createfile/File[testfile]/content:

Error: Could not back up C:/test.txt: getaddrinfo: No such host is known.
Error: Could not back up C:/test.txt: getaddrinfo: No such host is known.

The module is very simple:

# pwd
/etc/puppet/modules/createfile/manifests
# cat init.pp
 class createfile ($file_arg = undef, $content_arg = undef) {
      case $operatingsystem {
        windows: {
          $default_filename = [ "C:\\test.txt" ]
          $default_content = $fqdn
        }
      }

      if $file_arg == undef {
        $file_real = $default_filename
        }
      else {
        $file_real = $file_arg
      }

      if $content_arg == undef {
        $content_real = $default_content
        }
      else {
        $content_real = $content_arg
      }

      file { 'testfile':
        path    => $file_real,
        ensure  => file,
        content => $content_real
      }
   }

Any ideas what this could be? I can resolve all hosts, master and agent 
from all servers. I don't even know what it's doing trying to do a 
getaddrinfo?!

Thanks
Alex
