Hello,
I'm encountering an issue which I think is a bug, but I want to propose it
here before filing it for good @puppetlabs,
and be sure it's not just a misunderstanding.
Actually, I often use a construction where a "main" class would include
some small others that build a complete
service (install, config, service )
Relationship are given (and respected) in the main class between those
subclasses.
However, I found out that is a defined type is stating that it requires the
main class, this won't mean it requires the subclasses.
Here is an example, ran on Ubuntu with the package "ldap".
###################"
define aaaa () {
Class[ 'test'] -> Aaaa[ $name ]
file { '/etc/slapd.d/define':
ensure => file,
content => 'define',
}
}
class test {
Class[ 'install' ] -> Class[ 'config']
include install
include config
}
class install {
package { 'slapd':
ensure => 'present',
}
}
class config {
file { '/etc/slapd.d/config':
ensure => file,
content => 'config',
}
}
node default {
aaaa { 'test': }
include test
}
################
notice:
/Stage[main]//Node[default]/Aaaa[test]/File[/etc/slapd.d/define]/ensure:
current_value absent, should be file (noop)
notice: Aaaa[test]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: Node[default]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: /Stage[main]/Install/Package[slapd]/ensure: current_value purged,
should be present (noop)
notice: Class[Install]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: /Stage[main]/Config/File[/etc/slapd.d/config]/ensure: current_value
absent, should be file (noop)
notice: Class[Config]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: Class[Main]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: Stage[main]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 3 events
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.18 seconds
As we can see, the define Aaaa[test] is created before the class, and in
this case Puppet would fail
because the folder /etc/slapd.d/ would not exist before the file
"/etc/slapd.d/define" is created in it.
This could of course be fixed by requiring the subclass "install" directly,
but I think that is unexpected.
I hope some will be able to shine my lights on this Puppet behaviour.
Thanks
