[Nigel Kersten]

This should get reported as a bug though.

We should probably only accept absolute paths for the 'path' parameter, and
"false" should get interpreted as the boolean.

Re: [Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Peter Bukowinski]

Glad you got it sorted. You've discovered the importance of quoting and *not* 
quoting. The best practice is to single quote any string that does not contain 
a variable. If you're using a variable, use double quotes so it gets 
interpreted properly. Quotes should *not* be used around any of puppet's native 
values, e.g. true/running, false/stopped, present, absent, file, directory, 
link latest, absent, purged, etc.

Re: [Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Sans]

Thanks Peter! Got it now!

You were absolutely right - I had *path   => 'false' *for filebucket (in 
the site.pp). 
But I thought, Puppet recommends to quote around everything (apart from 
variables). That's not true, I see. Cheers!!

Re: [Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Sans]

I don't know what exactly you mean: I don't have any path defined with 
"false" in it.
Just figured out that whenever the content of a file is being modified, the 
"*false*" directory is being created with the old file (as "content") in 
it. So, looks like it's actually not modifying the file (in question) at 
all but replacing with the new one and keeping the old (i.e. original) one 
in the "*false*" directory. Am I making any sense here at all? Cheers!!

Re: [Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Sans]

Not sure what exactly do you mean; I haven't defined and path with "false" 
in it.  
It appears that the "false" directory is being created for this file 
definition:


'facts.yaml':
> name=> '/tmp/facts.yaml',
> content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| !( 
> k.is_a?(String) && v.is_a?(String) ) }.to_yaml %>");
>

and the "path" file contents:
 

>  

[root@farm021 ~]# cat 
> false/b/8/5/9/a/4/1/d/b859a41d3c782bbfe768eb8fa70c63b5/paths 
> /tmp/facts.yaml
>


I don't see any error on the agent during the 'puppetd -t' run though. Am I 
making any sense here at all? Cheers!!

Re: [Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Peter Bukowinski]

Looks like you have an error in your filebucket definition. Did you, perhaps, 
put quotes around "false" when you defined the path?

[Puppet Users] What is the "false" directory?

[Sans]

Dear all,

Since last night, Puppet is started creating a directory, named *false* in 
the present working directory, if I run *puppetd -t* manually on the puppet 
agent. The directory contents are like this:

8/3/e/5/8/6/5/9/83e586594432759eb7aed007e888a172/contents
> 8/3/e/5/8/6/5/9/83e586594432759eb7aed007e888a172/path
>


does any one know what are these and why they are being created? Cheers!!
