Hi. I actually posted this question at the Puppet webinar. I am a software developer using puppet to automate the installation custom software. I had a question involving variable parsing order. It has been mentioned that Puppet variables are parse-order-dependent, though sometimes seems totally random or independent of any order. Is there a way to order or chain variable parsing (in an instance where parsing seems to be at random), kind of how resource execution can be ordered in a manifest? I know this isn't traditionally how puppet works, but I was curious as to any trick that may accomplish something like this. To give a little context, I want to assign a variable a value that only becomes existent after it is created by the execution of a particular exec resource. But when a manifest is applied, variables are checked before resources are executed. So on and so forth.... Even if this isn't possible (assigning a variable after resource execution), a way to at least order the parsing of the variables in the phase before resource execution would prove very helpful. I apologize if this seems trivial to anyone. Honestly I hope that it is. Thanks a bunch!!
