Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5873 Ensure generated file resources in static catalog are contained Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/02/10 10:15 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Cooper The agent should behave consistently when applying a recursive directory resource when static catalogs are enabled or not. When not enabled, the agent's eval_generate will do 3 things: Adds the generated resources to the catalog Ensures all of the generated resources are contained in the recursive directory resource Adds relationships from the each generated resource to its nearest ancestor. The second part is important so that all of the generated resources are evaluated before anything that comes after the original directory resource. For example, in the following manifest, we need to ensure all of the descendents of /tmp/foo are evaluated before the notify resource: file { '/tmp/foo': ensure => directory, recurse => true, source => 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/dir' } -> notify { 'comes after': } See https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/479cd1c087099c481009a68e57b6e0f617b790f3 for more context. The third part is important to ensure intermediate directories are created in the correct order. For example, it's not sufficient to add an edge /foo => /foo/bar/baz and /foo => /foo/bar, because there's no guarantee that /foo/bar will be created before /foo/bar/baz. The autorequire logic will create these edges for us, but I'm not sure that's the best idea. The agent's eval_generate also ensure there aren't duplicate resources, but we'll be handling that in PUP-5118.
