Windowsfeature gives Corrective change every time

[WesselK]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: v2017.3.2
• Ruby:
• Distribution:
• Module version: 3.1.0

Hi,

This may be a noob question as we are just starting to use Puppet to manage Windows machines. As we are building roles we are planning to use the module Windowsfeature.
However, the module changes the machine everytime instead of checking first if it is necessary. This causes a incorrect report on the server as nothing was changed but still a corrective change is showed in the report. Is this by default or should i wrap some code around it to check? (which defeats the purpose of using this module instead of powershell code).

Regards,
Wessel

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

windowsfeature { 'Web-Http-Redirect':
ensure => present,
}

What are you seeing

In report: Windowsfeature['Web-Http-Redirect'] created Corrective change absent present

What behaviour did you expect instead

The feature was already installed last run, so i don't expect a corrective change.

Output log

Debug: Executing: 'C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe Ins
tall-WindowsFeature 'Web-Http-Redirect''
Debug: Powershell create response was '
Success Restart Needed Exit Code Feature Result

Hey @WesselK ,

Unfortunately i'm unable to reproduce your error. Could you try a a couple things for me?

1. Your logs indicate a reboot is required to finish installation. Could you try to reboot to see if it resolves the issue?
2. Can you post more debug logs to have more context?

@WesselK Closing this issue out since there has been no response. Can reopen when more information is provided.
