Unable to create a new schedule task on non-existing or empty TaskPath #49

Closed renaudl closed 8 years ago

renaudl commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I have tested the scenario where a task is created on a taskpath that does not exists. The resource exit because it couldn't find a task with the same folder (I checked the code).

The problem is that this scenario is a 101 for DSC when you want to install a fresh new server. I have test the set resource function and it manages to create the task with a new folder. Why do you check existence of a taskpath then ?

Could you please help? ps: if an empty task folder exists in the scheduler it fails also.

Hi, thank you for reporting issue. I could reproduce issue with following configuration.

configuration present
{
    Import-DscResource -Modulename GraniResource
    Node $AllNodes.Where{$_.Role -eq "localhost"}.NodeName
    {
        cScheduleTask fuga
        {
            Ensure = "present"
            Execute = "powershell.exe"
            Argument = '-Command "Get-Date | Out-File c:\hoge.log"'
            TaskName = "pityo"
            TaskPath = "\fuga\"
            ScheduledAt = [datetime]"00:00:00"
            Daily = $true
            Runlevel = "Highest"
            Disable = $false
        }
    }
}

$ConfigurationData = @{
    Allnodes = @(
    @{
        NodeName = "*"
        PSDscAllowPlainTextPassword = $true
    }
    @{
        NodeName ="localhost"
        Role = "localhost"
    }
    )
}
present -OutputPath . -ConfigurationData $ConfigurationData
Start-DscConfiguration -Wait -Force -Verbose -Path present -Debug

I will review and fix it.

Hi, I have fix an issue and released ver.3.7.4.

You can get it from PowerShellGet or through GitHub.

Could you kindly try it?

renaudl commented 8 years ago

Sure, will test today. Thanks for the fix.

renaudl commented 8 years ago

Tested, It works. Thanks.

However, when pushing twice a configuration, it now seems to set the task each time meaning the test always return right. If nothing is changed, should it return false to avoid doing unnecessary actions?

guitarrapc commented 8 years ago

Thanks for test.

Sorry but I can't get what you mean.

However, when pushing twice a configuration, it now seems to set the task each time meaning the test always return right. If nothing is changed, should it return false to avoid doing unnecessary actions?

If you send same configuration for twice, resource will detect ScheduledTask is not changed and Test returns true to skip Set-TargetResource Action. You can see how it works with following confifugraiton.

In the second run, it seems to set the action and other things. Is that doing it or is it just misleading traces?

guitarrapc commented 8 years ago

Thanks for trace log. It seems odd, very strange. I want to reproduce issue on my lab.

First of all, did you omit Test message? When I ran same configuration on my lab, it shows like following.

Looking into your trace message, is configuration you test was like this?

Can you share a configuration you tried? Also I have noticed error when you set multiple ScheduledAt like below.

configuration present

    Import-DscResource -Modulename GraniResource
    Node $AllNodes.Where{$_.Role -eq "localhost"}.NodeName
    {

            Ensure = "Present"
            Execute = "C:\Temp\test.bat"
            TaskName = "TestRenaud2123"
            TaskPath = "\rimes"
            ScheduledAt = [datetime]"00:00:00", [datetime]"01:00:00"
            RepetitionIntervalTimeSpanString = @(([TimeSpan]"00:05:00").ToString())
            RepetitionDurationTimeSpanString = @(([TimeSpan]::MaxValue).ToString())
            Disable = $false
        }
    }
}
renaudl commented 8 years ago

Hi, I found the root cause. My Task path was “rimes”, when setting “/rimes” I works fine.

So “rimes” alone allows to create but then always reinstall as it compares to “/rimes/”.

I have changed my config. It may be worth to had a comment somewhere.

Kind regards

renaud

It's odd, very strange. Do you omit Test message?When I ran same configuration on my lab, it shows like this.

Hi Renaudi, That's great feed back. Thanks a lot!

I have already add helper for "LastChar" but not yet for "FirstChar". I will review and support it on next version.

Cheers,
