Bug #3382: Class require chain thru class with no resources
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3382
Author: Alan Harder
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Keywords: require
Branch:
This may be working as designed, but wanted to file an issue to make sure.
Consider this test case:
<pre>
class foo {
notify { 'foo': }
class bar {
require foo
# notify { 'bar': }
}
}
class baz {
require foo::bar
notify { 'baz': }
}
node default {
include baz
}
</pre>
When notify 'bar' is uncommented, this works as expected.. the notify messages
always appear in order: foo, bar, baz. However, with notify 'bar' commented
the order is sometimes foo,baz and sometimes baz,foo. It seems that some
resource must be in the foo::bar class to enforce that foo is evaluated before
baz. Is this expected that a class level "require" chain only works when each
link in the chain has at least one resource? I use a setup like this sometimes
where a subclass sets some variables and then requires the outer class, so it
has no resources of its own. If you have another recommended way to do this,
let me know :-) I guess I could do "require foo::bar, foo" but that's less
intuitive usage. Thanks.
