[Puppet Users] Failed to execute a command using the exec resource on Windows

[b***@gmail.com]

I am having a difficult time to determine the cause of why my exec resource
failed to execute a command on Windows.

Here's the error message reproduced by the Puppet on the windows machine
when I ran 'puppet agent --test'.

Error: cmd.exe /c ruby -e "File.open('c:\replace_me', 'w') { |f|
f.write(File.read('C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application
Data/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/replace_me')) }" returned 1 instead of one of [0]

Error:
/Stage[main]/Windows_95d7fd26_b0e4_4642_9eb0_a06de0ea2fc7_1380724354040/Exec[rem_a8159a47_5507_4731_9d5f_1587fa8d5803_824177284125062]/returns:
change from notrun to 0 failed: cmd.exe /c ruby -e
"File.open('c:\replace_me', 'w') { |f| f.write(File.read('C:/Documents and
Settings/All Users/Application Data/PuppetLabs/puppet/var/replace_me')) }"
returned 1 instead of one of [0]

Notice: Finished catalog run in 2.06 seconds

If I copied and pasted the command manual to a command prompt on Windows
then the command would run successfully. It's just that it when running it
with Puppet then it would failed. Please let know if you see any issue
with my command or if there's any debug technique that I should try.

Thanks!

Can you verify the user running the service has access to the folder?

Also, can you please post your manifest? And if you wouldn't mind, please
run 'puppet agent --test --trace --debug --verbose' and attach that output
as well?

Did you provide the path attribute in your exec resource?

Some like that:

exe {'execute pretty command':
command => 'cmd.exe /c echo 'hello world',
path => $::path
}

$::path is a variable that contains all paths contained in this user
profile. you can also define it hardcoded. Note: you must have
c:\windows\system32 (for cmd.exe) and your ruby bin directory in your path
in order your command run well.

It's the path, you are right. After I set it, it ran successfully.

Thanks!
