If the File resource behaved as documented then there would be no

that?
Agree, and I would expect Puppet to behave this way.
If I wanted a symlink, I'd force create a symlink on the master and
expect it to be created exactly the same on the agent. If I wanted that
symlink to point to a file with some content, I'd manage the real path.
To me, a symlink is just a pointer with no content. Simple as that.
I didn't know about the 'links => follow' setting and I'd argue that
feature is a bit misguided. I wouldn't expect or maybe even want Puppet
to have this ability.
