Description

Issue Description : Unable to create a file using mention on node.env parameter; the syntax ${node.env[ENV]}/file.txt fails to create the respective file on the destination node; the ENV is well defined and the compliance is 100% success. However the file is not visible on destination node.

The same works when the "rudder agent inventory" command is executed on the destination node.

Rudder Server Version : rudder-server-root-3.1.1.release-1.EL.6.noarch
Rudder Client : rudder-agent-3.1.1.release-1.EL.5
Directive : Enforce a file content (technique version 7.0 )

Thank you Kiran for reporting this!

What would be the value of the environnement variable ? Is it starting with "/" ?

(on another note, don't worry if you put your issue into a wrong project we can it move issues between projects!!)

Here in my setup the ENV points to a directory path; say /usr/share

This is a problem of execution context. When starting rudder with the "rudder agent run/inventory" command, the agent uses the current's shell environment variables, but they may not be not defined in the cf-execd context which start the agent every n minutes). You should make sure the used variables are available to root, and restart "rudder-agent" service when their value is changed (it also happens every night automatically).

During my tests, the oucome was an error when the variables was undefined, I could not reproduce the "compliant" message (are you sure the value was not defined, but with another value ?):

   error: Cannot create a relative filename '${node.env[TOTO]}/file.txt' - has no invariant meaning. (creat: No such file or directory)
E| error         checkGenericFileContent   File                      ${node.env[TOTO]}| The file ${node.env[TOTO]}/file.txt could not be updated

Closing as I could not reproduce the issue, please reopen if the problem still occurs.
