Package: puppet-agent
Version: 7.20.0
Puppet is occasionally logging an exception in syslog
... /MSG: undefined method message for #String .../
/I tracked this done to calls to the log_exception(exception) method in
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/framework/logging/logger.rb/
/log_exception(exception) is expecting an exception class, but when called from
these two places, it is being passed a String, hence the error message
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/fact.rb
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/util/collection.rb/
/either //logger.rb should handle String arguments, or it shouldn't be being
called with String arguments./
/A quick fix to logger.rb would be
/
def log_exception(exception)
if exception.respond_to?(:message)
msg = exception.message
msg += "\n" + exception.backtrace.join("\n") if Options[:trace]
else
msg = exception
end
error(msg, true)
end
//
Alternately, fact.rb and collection.rb could pass through the exception, or
handle the backtrace themselves.
