Issue #5876 has been updated by John Florian.
I too would like to contest the assertion that the model is not broken. This is so fundamental to how I need to use puppet that I may need to consider alternate products if this model is truly deemed correct. I concur that **require** should trump all and that it should be treated as a hard dependency, not just affect the "order of operations". Please also see #7486, which is looking more and more like a duplicate of this ticket. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5876: Require and Subscribe on the same refreshonly exec doesnt work https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5876 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nick Lewis Category: Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Given this manifest: <pre> exec{"moo": command => "/usr/bin/cowsay 'fail :('", refreshonly => true, logoutput => true, require => Exec["false"], subscribe => [ File["/tmp/1"], File["/tmp/2"], File["/tmp/3"] ] } file{"/tmp/1": content => 1} file{"/tmp/2": content => 2} file{"/tmp/3": content => 3} exec{"false": command => "/bin/false"} </pre> The Exec[moo] shouldn't run it requires Exec[false] which will always fail, but it gets notified by the file resources via its subscribes and then runs anyway regardless of the state of the required resources. In version 2.6.5 this might be related to #5670 but I am filing a new bug since I think its not as this bug is also present in 0.25.x while the one in #5670 is 2.6.x only <pre> notice: //File[/tmp/1]/content: defined content as 'unknown checksum' notice: //File[/tmp/3]/content: defined content as 'unknown checksum' err: //Exec[false]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: /bin/false returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /home/rip/test.pp:12 notice: //File[/tmp/2]/content: defined content as 'unknown checksum' notice: //Exec[moo]: Dependency exec[/bin/false] has 1 failures warning: //Exec[moo]: Skipping because of failed dependencies notice: //Exec[moo]: Triggering 'refresh' from 3 dependencies notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: _________ notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: < fail :( > notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: --------- notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: \ ^__^ notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: \ (oo)\_______ notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: (__)\ )\/\ notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: ||----w | notice: //Exec[moo]/returns: || || </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
