Can someone please explain what's happening here? Let me know if you
need more info. Thanks in advance for your time.
I have a module called abc. This is the init.pp for that module.
###################
$ cat modules/production/abc/manifests/init.pp
# Puppet Module: abc
#
class abc {
package { "maatkit": ensure => present }
}
class abc::base inherits abc {
exec { "testvars": command => "/bin/echo
'java_version=${java_version}'", logoutput => true; }
}
class abc::test {
$java_version = "jdk1.6.0_14"
include abc::base
}
###################
I accidently assigned both the "abc" and "abc::test" class to a host and
noticed that the variable "java_version" no longer gets interpolated.
E.g. here's the puppet run log.
# puppetd -t
notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run
info: Retrieving plugin
info: Caching catalog for abc1.staging.pp.com
info: Applying configuration version '1271906581'
notice: //abc::base/Exec[testvars]/returns: java_version=
notice: //abc::base/Exec[testvars]/returns: executed successfully
warning: Value of 'preferred_serialization_format' (pson) is invalid for
report, using default (marshal)
notice: Finished catalog run in 3.21 seconds
But If I only assign the host the "abc::test" class, everything works ok
like so:
# puppetd -t
notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run
info: Retrieving plugin
info: Caching catalog for abc1.staging.pp.com
info: Applying configuration version '1271906581'
notice: //abc::base/Exec[testvars]/returns: java_version=jdk1.6.0_14
notice: //abc::base/Exec[testvars]/returns: executed successfully
warning: Value of 'preferred_serialization_format' (pson) is invalid for
report, using default (marshal)
notice: Finished catalog run in 3.21 seconds
So I obviously know what to do to fix the problem but would love to
understand what's happening here.

Sukh
