Description

The warn class that is supposed to prevent the agent from modifying the system is private and not available in the package promise, where it is supposed to be used (in the action body).

Furthermore reporting is misleading because repaired are displayed as error, so the first run may appear correct:

package_check_installed:

      "failed" 
        usebundle  => _classes_failure("${old_class_prefix}"),
        ifvarclass => "${called_class_prefix}_repaired";

It used to work in CFEngine 3.5 (and 3.6 ?), because classes defined in the bundle are viewable in the body. We must check if that changed recently.

Reproduced with a simpler test case, but could not find an item in changelogs for this.

body common control {

    bundlesequence => { "test" };

}

bundle agent test {

classes:

#"plop" expression => "any", scope => "namespace";
"plop" expression => "any";

files:

          "/tmp/passwd" 
            perms => system;
}

    body perms system
    {
plop::
      mode => "644";
      owners => { "root" };
      groups => { "root" };
    }

Updated by Nicolas CHARLES about 8 years ago

I checked the promises, and:
  • it works as expected in CFEngine 3.5.3
  • it doesn't do anything in CFEngine 3.6.0
    so it's been failing since Rudder 2.11 - and it's something that changed in CFEngine 3.6
