So I have a puppet module, that gets a script from files/, runs that
script, and after it's done, I'd like to remove it.
Unfortunately puppet doesn't seem to like to have 2 different File
resource aliased to the same, so I can't do
file { "myfile":
ensure => present,
source => "puppet:///...",
}
file { "remove myfile":
path => "myfile",
ensure => absent,
}
Puppet gave the error: err: Failed to apply catalog: Cannot alias
File[remove myfile]...myfile already declared...
The only work around I've found is using an exec resource. Anyone know
how to do this without exec?
Thank you
Thats the nature of puppet.
It describes the 'state' of your node. So the file cannot be present
and absent at the same time.
you could use an exec that wget/curl/... your tempfile, execute it, and
remove it, and using a creates => <some file created by the script> to
run it only when needed.
depends on what you exactly wants to achieve.
