Windows compatibility

[Skynet5d]

Hi maestrodev,

First, I would like to thank you for the job you have done so far. You have been providing to the community with a tremendous contribution.

I would like to report you that it seems that your puppet-maven module is not compatible with Windows 7. Indeed, if you check for example the manifests\maven.pp file you can notice that within exec {'maven-untar':..} there is a tar xf command with paths that are unix/linux like and the cwd attribute value is /opt. Therefore, the puppet parsing is failing because, it expects a fully qualified path for cwd and I guess an error would occur at runtime since the paths are not windows like.

Am I missing anything? Do you have an idea of how could I fix this issue?

Many thanks
Regards

I too have been struggling to get this working under windows. I'm a puppet noob, so may be doing something wrong, but I'm getting issues like this, which I assume is due to the mixed unix/windows paths:

Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Maven[c:\tmp\common-lib.jar]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: No such file or directory

When I try to download a file from our local nexus repo.

I've tried all the combinations of fully qualified paths, local paths, drive letters present and absent, forward slashes, reversed slashes, and escaped slashes with no joy. I can't get past the No such file or directory. Under Ubuntu, it works perfectly
