Thanks Dylan.
This approach looks good as and users don't have to add file resource
explicitly.
define new_type::something (
$file_path,
) {
file { $file_path:
ensure = file,
notify= New_type['another_resource'], ---*'another_resource'
must be a variable as it is title of
That's close,
You don't need to set ensure on a defined type unless you have exposed that
as a paremeter, and you do need to set ensure for that file.
Going back to the original issue of accessing the parameter of one resource
from another, i'll give a little example of how I envision it:
I agree - sticking to FHS seems like the right place for Puppet as a best
practice.
I'll raise a bug on this to accompany the bug I've already raised about the
puppetserver package blatting config in packages that don't belong to it to
non-default values in a rather dangerous way
