[Puppet Users] Fail/stop after a step fails?
Is it possible to get puppet to just *give up* if a particular step fails? Thousands upon thousands of "Skipping because of failed dependencies" gets really old. -Robin -- http://intelligence.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future. .i ko na cpedu lo nu stidi vau loi jbopre .i danfu lu na go'i li'u .e lu go'i li'u .i ji'a go'i lu na'e go'i li'u .e lu go'i na'i li'u .e lu no'e go'i li'u .e lu to'e go'i li'u .e lu lo mamta be do cu sofybakni li'u -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Or, indeed, have it stop after a particular step *succeeds* would be fine too. -Robin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Try the fail() function. Something like this:
if ($continue != true) {
fail('Condition not met, failing now.')
}

Nope. Like all Puppet DSL functions, fail() is executed on the master
during catalog compilation. It causes catalog compilation to fail. That
doesn't address Robin's desire to interrupt the application of resources
mid-stream in the event of a resource application failure.
Puppet's standard behavior is to attempt to apply as much of the catalog as
possible despite the failure of some resources. As far as I know or can
determine, there is no option to instead stop applying resources when one
fails. It may be, however, that the number of separate warnings could be
greatly reduced by wrapping groups of the dependent resources into defined
type instances, so that (I speculate) you get "Skipped" messages only for
the comparatively few wrappers instead of for every wrapped resource. Or
you could consider filtering out the messages. You could also consider
filing an RFE.
