Hi.
I have an issue with puppet package resource not verifying Version well for
MSI packages on windows.
I tried both puppet 3.4 and latest 3.6, the matters remains the same.
When using
ensure => "installed"
it works fine and puppet skip running the msiexec /i...
I made sure I am using MSI DisplayVersion (double verified with add/remove
programs and using MS VB scripts and registry to check the package
DisplayVersion) including some very common globally distributed MSIs and
executables like MS products (VC2xxx for to name a few).
The behavior is: Puppet re-runs msiexec /i as if it is not found.
The expected behavior: Puppet to skip installation by verifying version
equals.
Only one exception note, I have also in-house created MSIs which are Not
registered to add/remove programs list (ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1) but I don't
think that matters either (as also MS MSIs/Execs are not checked by version
correctly).
Here is a sample of how my package resource looks like, including hiera
configuration:
class framework_app_server_env::install () inherits framework_app_server {
$gavarr = split($gav, ':')
* $version = $gavarr[2]*
artifactory::artifact { 'FrameworkAppServerEnvironment.msi':
gav => "${gav}",
ensure => present,
packaging => 'msi',
repository => "${artifactory_repo}",
output =>
"${install_dir}\\FrameworkAppServerEnvironment-${version}.msi",
require => Class['artifactory']
}
package { 'Framework App Server Environment':
* ensure => "${version}",* source =>
"${install_dir}\\FrameworkAppServerEnvironment-${version}.msi",
install_options => [ 'ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1',
"INSTALLDIR=${software_dir}", '/log',
"${log_dir}\\framework_app_server_env.log" ],
require => [
Artifactory::Artifact['FrameworkAppServerEnvironment.msi'],
File["${install_dir}"], File["${software_dir}"] ]
}
}
and in hiera file:
framework_app_server_env::artifact::gav :
'shared-components:FrameworkAppServerEnvironment:*11.2.0.0186*'
I tried using notify to print ${version} while running agent -t on the
agent windows machine and it printed the version perfectly.
Puzzled.
