Description

Sometimes, CFEngine fails to apply templates.

It happens on certain conditions:
  • The source template does not exist
  • The template expansion failed

We should do apply the templates in a local directory first, and then apply it on the final destination if the file is a least not empty, but doing this would make applying an empty file impossible...

For now, we should abort the template application if the source template is not here.
