useradd create homedir problem about puppet-stash HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah the parent directories will not be created for the home or the data directory, you will need to take care of that prior to calling the stash class. If you use the defaults which is /home/stash or /opt/stash. It should work fine without needing to do this.

Unfortunatly the file type does not allow for this, its documented here:https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/86

It would be hard for me to cator for the parent dirs without an exec { 'mkdir -p /foo/bar'': } which is not desirable.

So, how can I manage the installdir via puppet, which is where the homedir will be created, if you're declaring it within your install.pp (line: 72-77)? If I'm provisioning a new server and want to have that installdir get created via puppet as a part of this process, it seems to fall over, or am I missing something? I guess I could use an exec, but that's kind of lame. Feels like the user should exist, create the installdir, and then subsequently create the stash homedir if you're going to manage all these components, which seems fair. What are your thoughts? I might be way off base here and missing something entirely.

You need to have all the parent directories already created.

lets say installdir is '/opt/mydir'. This should work fine because /opt already exists. If installdir is '/opt/my/special/install/dir' you will need to take care of that prior to calling the stash module.

so something like this:

file { ['/opt/my', '/opt/my/special', '/opt/my/special', '/opt/my/special/install' ]:
  ensure => directory,
} ->

class { 'stash':
  installdir => '/opt/my/special/install/dir',
}

I hope this clears things up a bit.
