DSC module won't deploy on Windows Server 2019

[dylanratcliffe]

When deploying a Puppetfile containing the puppetlabs/dsc module in Windows Server 2019 I get the following error:

The Puppetfile I'm using is simply:

mod 'puppetlabs/dsc', '1.9.4'

Expected Behavior

r10k should deploy the module

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new folder with a Puppetfile containing the above
2. Run r10k puppetfile install --color --force --verbose debug --trace

Environment

Tested manually using the peru/windows-server-2019-datacenter-x64-eval vagrant box. Can also be tested using the windows-latest image in github actions

@dylanratcliffe did you enable long path support?

[Magisus]

I think this a bug in the forge gem and not r10k. We could try to work around the error in r10k, but if the unpacking of the tarball is failing, I'm not sure how much we can do...

[binford2k]

IAC & the Agent team are working on the minitar issue because it's blocking the new DSC modules. I'd like to keep this open to track r10k as a dependency of that effort, but I don't expect much lift from your end.

[dylanratcliffe]

I don't have time at the moment to test long path support but someone motivated could do it with GitHub actions pretty easily

[binford2k]

@michaeltlombardi just validated. This is a problem even with long paths enabled

We have contributed a fix to upstream ruby that enables long path support for Ruby applications. This was vendored into our own vendored Ruby runtimes and shipped in Puppet 6.23.0 and 7.8.0.

I just validated and this Puppetfile installs properly on Win 2019 with long path support enabled.
