[Bug]: `puppet resource service` NoMethodError on FreeBSD

[backerman]

Is this a critical security issue?

• This is not a security issue.

Describe the Bug

puppet resource service errors out when listing all services:

Error: Could not run: undefined method `gsub' for nil

Expected Behavior

puppet resource service should display the usual list of service stanzas for all available services.

Steps to Reproduce

1. On FreeBSD, run puppet resource service.
2. Observe that it fails.
3. Run puppet resource service jail (picked at random) to demonstrate it's a specific service causing the issue.

Environment

Version 8.24.1 (same behavior on 8.22.0)
Platform FreeBSD 14.3p7

Additional Context

The NoMethodError is thrown at lib/puppet/provider/service/freebsd.rb:27 when parsing the output of service dumpon rcvar. For some reason that lists zero rcvars (there is in fact one), which appears to be the problem.

Relevant log output

[backerman]

Update: it's not just dumpon that's a problem; there are at least two dozen base system init scripts which don't return what this code expects.
