Issue #6907 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
This has one drawback though: You're not able to do a noop run (or at least you dont see what will really happen) because the prerequisites are never met. One alternative I want to throw in here is to just let resources (and dependencies of course) fail when puppet cannot find a default provider. That said you still have to run puppet twice but you're at least able to run your manifest in the first place (instead of throwing and error "no default provider" and do nothing at all) ---------------------------------------- Feature #6907: Ensure providers can be used in the same puppet run that their prerequisites are delivered in https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6907 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Accepted Priority: Urgent Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: This is possibly more accurately described as a collection of bug fixes, as we've aimed to fix this several times, however I'm characterizing this as a feature, and we're going to associate related bugs with it. Essentially we want to be able to use a provider in the same run that it's prerequisites (like :commands and paths) are delivered in. You should not have to run puppet twice to use a provider. We're aiming this at 2.6.x initially, but if it turns out that we need significant plumbing work to make this happen, we are re-targeting at Statler. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
