Installing homebrew with puppet enterprise fails #80

Closed yaron-idan closed 7 years ago

yaron-idan commented 7 years ago

When trying to use PE to install homebrew the operation fails with the following error - 

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server:
Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error:
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, 
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement,
Duplicate declaration: File[/usr/local] is already declared in file /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/homebrew/manifests/install.pp:19;

    at /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/puppet_enterprise/manifests/symlinks.pp:31:5 on node solutosmacvm11.local

Is there any way to solve this error without disabling symlinks?

Mac is running macos sierra 10.12.3 PE version is 2016.4.2

Looks like this bug had been reported to PE and marked as wontfix (they recommend disabling symlinks).

Just in case we can think of a good way around it, could you paste the contents of /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/puppet_enterprise/manifests/symlinks.pp? Here's hoping we can find a way to work around it.

Sure, here's the link to a gist containing it - https://gist.github.com/yaron-idan/4ac84d073bdfaadf0530335e0e7a88dc

Hmm, at first glance it looks like its not possible to have both modules working together without changes on both sides. I'll keep thinking about this; we might be able to write a PE-specific patch.

For my own future reference: stdlib::ensure_resource looks like it would be closer to correct, but will still throw an error since the definitions are incompatible.

I figured the same thing. Anyway I'm gonna close it since your suggestion to disable symlinks did the trick. Thanks!
