Rudder

The promises generation fails like this:

Technical details ⇨ cf-promise check fails for promises generated at '/var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs.new'
⇨ 2014-11-06T16:29:38+0100 error: Can't stat file '/var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs.new/promises.cf' for parsing. (stat: No such file or directory)

In the logs:

Indeed, /var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs.new/promises.cf is not here. If I run "touch /var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs.new/promises.cf", the next generation succeeds but the next one after fails again.

It is just like if the webapp failed / forgot to create the file, but was able to use / unlink it...
