Hello,
Could someone explain why a relationship implemented with a collection
is honored by Puppet, but a 'before' or 'require' meta-parameter fails
for the example below.
------- THIS WORKS ------
Nfs::Client <| |> -> Class['myclass']
class { 'myclass': }
nfs::client { '/share':}
------------------------
---------- DEPENDENCY IS NOT HONORED BY PUPPET HERE -------------
class{'myclass': require => Nfs::Client['/share'] }
nfs::client{'/share':}
------------------------
The nfs share must be mounted before packages can be installed in
Class['myclass']. Defining this relationship using 'before' or
'require' meta-parameters did not succeed: In the bottom example,
Puppet would attempt to install packages contained in the class even
though the nfs share was not mounted.
I realize that the top example is applying the relationship to all
'nfs::client' defined types (which is fine). But why should this
method work while the explicit 'before' or 'require' approach fail?
Jon
