Hey Guys, I was experimenting with puppet lang ( as in just learning ), found something like below happening, i couldn't explain it to myself so thought asking here. I have installed puppet 2.6.7 using rubygems.
here's the manifest: ==== $ cat 7.stage_run_example.pp stage {"first": before => Stage[main]} stage {"last": require => Stage[main]} class { "unix": stage => first; "apache": stage => main; "praddy": stage => last; } class unix { notify{"unix": message => "this is a unix class"} } class apache inherits unix { notify{"apache": message => "this is an apache class"} } class praddy inherits apache { Notify["apache"] { message => "this is overridden" } notify {"praddy": message => "this is a praddy class" } } class param_notify ($message="default message") { notify{"$message":} } include unix /* the invocation below should emit "this is an apache class" message, but ???? */ include apache class {param_notify: message => "I am a parameterized class"} ==== And here's the output that I get: ==== $ puppet apply 7.stage_run_example.pp warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn notice: this is a unix class notice: /Stage[first]/Unix/Notify[unix]/message: defined 'message' as 'this is a unix class' notice: I am a parameterized class notice: /Stage[main]/Param_notify/Notify[I am a parameterized class]/ message: defined 'message' as 'I am a parameterized class' notice: this is overridden notice: /Stage[main]/Apache/Notify[apache]/message: defined 'message' as 'this is overridden' notice: this is a praddy class notice: /Stage[last]/Praddy/Notify[praddy]/message: defined 'message' as 'this is a praddy class' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds ==== So, when including the "apache" class i should not be getting the the message which is overridden in the "praddy" class, or am i interpreting it all wrong? puppet version: ==== $ puppet -V 2.6.7 ==== - praddy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
