I see two possible issues. First, you either need to give the exec resource a
working directory via the 'cwd' parameter, or you need to use tar's -C option
to specify where to extract the files. Without either of these, files will
extract into the home of whichever user is running puppet. So either add this
parameter:
cwd => '/var/tmp/,
or use this as your tar command ( -- # note that I skipped the verbose switch
since it's not interactive):
/bin/tar -xf /var/tmp/deploy.tar -C /var/tmp
Another possible issue: If you want /var/tmp/deploy.tar to extract to
/var/tmp/test, then you need to leave off the 'onlyif' parameter. Currently,
the exec will only run if /var/tmp/test already exists.
One last thing. If you haven't done so already, set up a dependency between the
file resource that copies the tar file to the node and the exec resource that
extracts it -- either via a notify parameter in the file resource or a require
parameter in the exec resource.
