Hi,
I bumped into the following this afternoon (on a 2.7.19 puppet master/agent
combo):
consider a class profile::tomcat in module profile with the following
content:
$ cat modules/profile/manifests/tomcat.pp
class profile::tomcat {
class { 'tomcat': }
notice('Class profile::tomcat in module profile')
}
and
$ cat modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp
class tomcat {
notice('Class tomcat in module tomcat')
...
}
When I include this class profile::tomcat in a node definition, I would
expect it to apply the resources
contained in the main class of the tomcat module (in
modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp).
Instead I get:
$ puppet apply --modulepath modules --verbose site.pp
Duplicate declaration: Class[Profile::Tomcat] is already declared; cannot
redeclare at /home/bkkrw/Desktop/test/modules/profile/manifests/tomcat.pp:3
on node XXXXXX
If I instead use
class profile::tomcat {
include tomcat
notice('Class profile::tomcat in module profile')
}
then the catalog compiles successfully, but instead of applying the tomcat
class from modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp,
puppet applies the profile::tomcat class:
$ puppet apply --modulepath modules --verbose site.pp
notice: Scope(Class[Profile::Tomcat]): Class profile::tomcat in module
profile
info: Applying configuration version '1350936327'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds
So, apparently the tomcat class included in class profile::tomcat seems to
resolve to the profile::tomcat class itself
instead of the class defined in modules/tomcat/manifests/init.pp.
I can force the behaviour I want by using:
class { '::tomcat':}
or
include ::tomcat
$ puppet apply --modulepath modules --verbose site.pp
notice: Scope(Class[Tomcat]): Class tomcat in module tomcat
notice: Scope(Class[Profile::Tomcat]): Class profile::tomcat in module
profile
info: Applying configuration version '1350936684'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds
I haven't come across this syntax for class declaration before, and
although it seems to work, it is at least
quite counterintuitive, and possibly a bug.
Everything I find seems to confirm that a declaration like "include tomcat"
should just apply the resources
contained in the main class in module tomcat (in manifests/init.pp).
What do you guys think ?
Kind regards,
k
