Problem with [pre|post]run etckeeper

[gomex]

I got this error:

Could not run command from prerun_command: Execution of '/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre' returned 1
Could not run command from prerun_command: Execution of '/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post' returned 1

My box has these files, but something in kitchen provision remove that file. How can I fix it?

[ytsarev]

@gomex login into instance with kitchen login , run these commands manually and try to figure out ?

[gomex]

@ytsarev I already did that. That files was removed from box after kitchen provision :(

kitchen-puppet just install puppet in a couple of different ways.
it looks like you config these in the puppet.conf. is that true?
I expect it is a puppet or ubuntu issue or something in the way you want to install puppet.
If you can find out the issue we can alway add a parameter to kitchn-puppet to support it.
are you running puppet apply or the puppet agent with puppetmaster.
there are so copies of the file:
https://github.com/timcowlishaw/Puppet/blob/master/etckeeper-commit-pre
I think you just need to do some research to understand what these files are.

I guess the core issue is just this /etc/puppet clean up https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-puppet/blob/master/lib/kitchen/provisioner/puppet_apply.rb#L419

[ytsarev]

oh, no, scratch that, it's for git_init only

[gomex]

@neillturner I have this config in my puppet.conf:

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
prerun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre
postrun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post

[master]

ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

[gomex]

My workaround was:

prerun_command=/etc/puppet/hieradata/etckeeper-commit-pre
postrun_command=/etc/puppet/hieradata/etckeeper-commit-post

hieradata folder is copied with "hiera_data_remote_path".

[gomex]

That workaround don't works in agent :( Because in the agent don't have hieradata.

Is there any other way to fix it?

[gomex]

This was fixed with #83 because now I can use jessie repository that put etckeeper files in correct place 👍 This problem will break in ubuntu packages. Is there any way to send that files to test machine?

[grubernaut]

The spec/fixtures directory will be copied over to the test machine if that's what you're looking for

[neillturner]

closing this as we have merged #83
