Title: Message Title

Jonathan Tripathy created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5874 Purging doesn't work when a package dependancy is required inside same catalog Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Branan Riley Created: 2016/02/10 10:18 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jonathan Tripathy I noticed this issue inside the puppetlabs-firewall module, however the situation is probably relevant to many other modules as well. If I have the following manifest: class {'firewall':} resources {'firewall': purge=>true} I get the following error, as the firewall class isn't being executed first: # /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet apply site.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for ja35cpxhttwrv7e.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.76 seconds Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Resources[firewall]: Failed to generate additional resources using 'generate': Command iptables_save is missing Notice: /Stage[main]/Firewall::Linux/Package[iptables]/ensure: created Notice: /Stage[main]/Firewall::Linux::Debian/Package[iptables-persistent]/ensure: created Notice: Applied catalog in 2.66 seconds The firewall class should be executed first as the firewall types (that are generated by the 'resources' metatype) has an autorequire on Package['iptables'] (which is inside the firewall class), however the autorequire isn't being executed. Naturally, this works the second time around, as the iptables package has been installed on the system.
