Bug #5286: Resources with schedules attached doesnt behave consistantly when
notified

I was trying to figure out if an exec that gets notified outside of its
schedule will still be run and noticed some inconsistencies.
Given this code:
<pre>
schedule { daily: period => daily, range => "02:00 - 04:00" }
file{"/tmp/bar": content => "bar", schedule => "daily", }
exec{"test": command => "/usr/bin/cowsay moo", logoutput => true, schedule =>
"daily"}
service{"httpd": schedule => "daily"}
file{"/tmp/foo": content => "moo", notify => [ File["/tmp/bar"], Exec["test"],
Service["httpd"] ] }
</pre>
If /tmp/foo doesn't exist and its not 02:00 - 04:00 I would either expect
nothing else to happen or the file, exec and service all realized:
<pre>
% rm /tmp/foo /tmp/bar; puppet test.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/foo]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}b7d192a44e0da16cd180ebe85efb7c8f'
notice: /Stage[main]//Service[httpd]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: _____
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: < moo >
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: -----
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: \ ^__^
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: \ (oo)\_______
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: (__)\ )\/\
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: ||----w |
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]/returns: || ||
notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[test]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
</pre>
The file /tmp/bar isn't being created - its outside of schedule - but the exec
runs and service gets notified. If I now run it again without deleting the
file /tmp/foo then as expected the exec doesn't get run.
I don't know what the desired behavior here is, I hoped notifying resources
outside of their schedule will result in exec's running etc but I think that
isn't the most common desire, the documentation says:
<pre>
schedule { maint: range => “2 - 4”, period => daily, repeat => 1 }
With this schedule, the first time that Puppet runs between 2 and 4 AM,
all resources with this schedule will get applied, but they won’t get
applied again between 2 and 4 because they will have already run once
that day, and they won’t get applied outside that schedule because they
will be outside the scheduled range.
</pre>
We should either clarify how this applies to notified resources and I guess
there is also a question of how resources - like file in my example - that
doesn't really do anything when notified should behave in this scenario.
