I've been working through the git provider within puppetlabs-vcsrepo
and I think I have the problems narrowed down. However I don't
understand the code well enough to fix it.
What works:
Fresh installs of a repo on the client regardless of branch, revision,
master, latest, whatever specified.
Pulling latest from the current checked out branch.
Pulling latest from any branch that exists in the version of the repo
that is already on the client.
What doesn't work:
Any update to the repo that the current version of the repo on the
clinet would be unaware. Basically any condition that would require a
git fetch and/or git pull --tags first, fails.
Tags without branches don't seem to work at all when updating a repo,
but I'm going to skip over this for now because I think it's a very
different problem.
I'm guessing that certain functions that exist within
lib/puppet/provider/vcsrepo/git.rb aren't getting called when the repo
exists or that the current functions aren't doing everything that needs
to be done. Likely suspects look like update_references,
revision=(desired) or revision, or get_revision(rev).
I've littered fetches liberally over the code to no effect, but I'm
betting I'm not initializing something correctly.
at_path do
git_with_identity('fetch', @resource.value(:remote))
git_with_identity('fetch', '--tags', @resource.value(:remote))
end
I can easily test code changes if someone with more Ruby chops that I
wants to take a crack at it.
