Hi,
Something from my experience playing with Golang and Puppet code this morning.
I wrote a very very simple script to restart a service that you can find here
Today i wanted to put it on the machine and run it with puppet, so i wrote a very small class that looked like this:
class profiles_test::updatekafka {
package { 'golang':
ensure => installed,
name => 'golang',
}
file {"/root/servicerestart.go":
source => 'puppet:///modules/profiles_test/servicerestart.go',
mode => '0644',
replace => true,
}
exec { 'go build servicerestart.go':
cwd => '/root',
creates => '/root/servicerestart',
path => ['/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin'],
} ->
exec { '/root/servicerestart':
cwd => '/root',
path => ['/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin','/root'],
onlyif => 'ps -u kafka',
}
}
On execution, surprise, it kept throw this feedback:

08:19:44 Error: go run servicerestart.go returned 1 instead of one of [0]
The secret is in panic: exit status 127 and it seems that it’s not related to neither golang or puppet, but shell.
In my script they way to get the broker list is by
output1 := RunCommand("echo dump | nc localhost 2181 | grep brokers")
and the error is related to not having the required binaries in you path. For example if you run
whereis echo echo: /bin/echo /usr/share/man/man1/echo.1.gz
So the right way to for the exec block is actually:
exec { '/root/servicerestart':
cwd => '/root',
path => ['/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin','/root','/bin','/sbin'],
onlyif => 'ps -u kafka',
}And then it will work.
Cheers!
