archive extraction fails

[twojstaryzdomu]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 8.5.1
• Ruby: 3.0.4
• Distribution: RHEL 9.3
• Module version :v7.1.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

$dir  = '/dev/shm/test'
$arch = '/dev/shm/test.tar.gz'

file { $dir:
  ensure => directory,
}

archive { $arch:
  ensure       => present,
  source       => $arch,
  extract      => true,
  extract_path => $dir,
  require      => File[$dir],
}

What are you seeing

Fails to extract an archive.

What behaviour did you expect instead

Properly extracting the archive, resulting in the following:

# ls -la /dev/shm/test
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root    60 Mar 21 15:29 .
drwxrwxrwt 3 root   root   160 Mar 21 15:29 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user  61 Mar 21 15:28 uptime

Output log

# uptime > uptime && tar -C . -czvf /dev/shm/test.tar.gz uptime && tar -tvf /dev/shm/test.tar.gz && sudo rm -rf /dev/shm/test
uptime
-rw-r--r-- user/user    61 2024-03-21 15:27 uptime
# sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet apply --modulepath ./modules archive.pp
Notice: Compiled catalog for hostname in environment production in 0.03 seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/dev/shm/test]/ensure: created
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.05 seconds
# ls -la /dev/shm/test
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Mar 21 15:27 .
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 160 Mar 21 15:27 ..

Any additional information you'd like to impart

'creates' works but it is not really an option when knowing the archive contents upfront is not possible.

# uptime > uptime && tar -C . -czvf /dev/shm/test.tar.gz uptime && tar -tvf /dev/shm/test.tar.gz && sudo rm -rf /dev/shm/test
uptime
-rw-r--r-- user/user    61 2024-03-21 15:28 uptime

  extract      => true,
  extract_path => $dir,
  creates      => "${dir}/uptime",
