Jira (PUP-7789) Manifest ordering not respected if resources are nested in defined types

[Alex Harvey (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Alex Harvey created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7789 Manifest ordering not respected if resources are nested in defined types Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 5.0.1, PUP 4.10.4, PUP 4.7.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/07/19 8:05 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Alex Harvey When relying on manifest ordering to order things as they appear in the manifest, a rather confusing and unexpected ordering is observed if resources are nested within defined types. To reproduce class foo () { foo::bar { 'bar': } } define foo::bar { foo::baz { 'a': } foo::baz { 'b': } foo::baz { 'c': } File { ensure => file, } file { '/d': } file { '/e': } file { '/f': } } define foo::baz { File { ensure => file, } file { "/$name": } } include foo Then: $ puppet apply foo.pp --ordering=manifest --noop Expected result I expect to see files resources ordered as a, b, c, d, e, f. Actual result Notice: Compiled catalog for alexs-macbook-pro-2.local in environment production in 0.02 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/File[/d]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/File[/e]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/File[/f]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/Foo::Baz[a]/File[/a]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: Foo::Baz[a]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 event Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/Foo::Baz[b]/File[/b]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: Foo::Baz[b]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 event Notice: /Stage[main]/Foo/Foo::Bar[bar]/Foo::Baz[c]/File[/c]/ensure: current_value 'absent', should be 'file' (noop) Notice: Foo::Baz[c]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 event Notice: Foo::Bar[bar]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 6 events Notice: Class[Foo]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 event Notice: Stage[main]: Would have triggered 'refresh' from 1 event Notice: Applied catalog in 0.07 seconds Affects all version of Puppet, including 3.8.7. Presumably it has always been like this. However, this is a very confusing ordering that seems to defeat the purpose of having manifest ordering at all.
