Imri Zvik commented on PUP-5985   Re: Features are not being re-evaluated when a block is used Imagine your implementing a new provider for the package resource (lets say npm). To make things a bit more interesting, this provider also implements prefetching. This provider is dependent on some package being installed (nodejs in our example). so you have something like this: package { 'nodejs':} package {'phantomjs': ensure => '2.1.2', provider => 'npm', } With the way features are currently implemented, it will be evaluated once, at the beginning of the run, and never be evaluated again, so this example will fail, even though the npm utility will be made available after the nodejs package was installed.
