Hey guys,
On puppet server 3.8.2 here. And I have a file definition that I want to
set as 'absent'. For example, this is what I have:
file { '/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg':
ensure => absent,
path => '/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg',
content => template('newrelic/newrelic.cfg.erb'),
before => Service[$newrelic_php_service],
notify => Service[$newrelic_php_service],
}
And if I remove the file I want on the target host:
[root@ops3:~] #rm -fv /etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg
removed ‘/etc/newrelic/newrelic.cfg’
And then run the puppet agent again:
[root@ops3:~] #puppet agent --test

Notice the newrelic.cfg file that I want to be 'absent' is created
nontheless.
Is this some kind of flaw in the version of puppet I'm using? Or could I be
doing something wrong?
Because this is not at all the way I understand the 'absent' value of the
ensure setting is supposed to work!
I guess in the meantime I can comment out the file definition entirely. But
I would like to understand why the 'absent' setting isn't working the way
it's supposed to!
Thanks,
Tim
