Hi
So, I've managed to get this working. However, not exactly the way I want it. My charm is made like this: layer:openvpn layer:puppet layer:basic layer:openvpn provides a Puppetfile that says which dependencies need to be downloaded by the tactic., This works if I put the tactic in layer:openvpn. This doesn't work if I put the tactic in layer:puppet because then the tactic will run before the Puppetfile (from layer:openvpn) is added to the destination charm. Downloading puppet dependencies seems to be the responsibility of the puppet layer. I'd like to be able to put the tactic in there so that layers using layer:puppet only need to provide the puppetfile and layer:puppet will take care of the rest. Is there a way for me to specify that a tactic needs to be run after all other files have been added to the destination charm?, or is there another way I can solve this issue?
