Title: Message Title

Mikhail T. created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6680 Descendant providers do not inherit features from ancestors Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.8.7 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 2016/09/05 6:44 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Mikhail T. My package-provider is very simple – it derives from the stock gem-provider and overwrites gemcmd to use the gem-executable installed with RedHat's rh-ruby22 package for RHEL/CentOS-6 (where the default Ruby is 1.8.7): require 'puppet/provider/package'   Puppet::Type.type(:package).provide File.basename(__FILE__, ".rb"), :parent => :gem, :source => :gem do desc "Ruby Gem support using gem from the #{@name}-package"   has_feature :versionable, :install_options   commands :gemcmd => "/opt/rh/rh-#{@name.to_s}/root/usr/bin/gem" end Until I added the has_feature-line, my attempts to specify customized install_options were quietly ignored. The descendant provider should've inherited the features of the parent. On a separate note, when a provider that does not have the install_options-flag set, is used with the install_options-attribute in a manifest, an error (or a warning) should be generated. Quietly ignoring the flags in the manifest is a separate bug.
