#Enable S3 Support for windows
class { '::archive':
aws_cli_install => true,
seven_zip_provider > 'windows' ##<< Did this to bypass cases that would default to install 7zip in init.pp:11
}
archive { "zipfile-1.2-windows-x86_64.zip":
ensure => present,
source => "http://zipfile-1.2-windows-x86_64.zip",
extract => 'true',
path => "c:/tmp/",
temp_dir => "c:/tmp/",
extract_path => "c:/Program Files/",
creates => "c:/Program Files/zipfile-1.2-windows-x86_64"
}
What are you seeing
Error: The source parameter is required when using the Windows provider.
Error: /Stage[main]/Archive/Package[7zip]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: The source parameter is required
when using the Windows provider.
Debug: Class[Archive]: Resource is being skipped, unscheduling all events
Error: /Stage[main]/Elkagent/Archive[zipfile-1.2-windows-x86_64.zip]/creates: change from archive not extracte
d to extracting in c:/Program Files/ to create c:/Program Files/zipfile-1.2-windows-x86_64 failed: 7z.exe not avail
able
What behaviour did you expect instead
When leaving the provider undefined, it should default to windows powershell if 7zip is not installed.
However, it is still requiring 7zip no matter what options are selected.

Any additional information you'd like to impart
Hi @MrMitch17, are you able to provide a patch for this? I've almost zero knowledge about puppet on windows.
@paul-riley can you provide a patch for this?
