The current behavior prevents the usage of stages in a lot of cases and is quite nasty... :/ So getting here some priority might also be nice... > Does it also seem reasonable to throw an error if you attempt to set a parent > and child class to have two different stages explicitly? Yes. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5349: Class inheritance and stages act weirdly https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5349 Author: R.I. Pienaar Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3 Keywords: Branch: Given the code: <pre> stage { "first": before => Stage[main] } class foo { package{"zsh": ensure => present } } class bar inherits foo { notify{"/usr/bin/cowsay 'hello world'": require => Package["zsh"] } } class{"bar": stage => "first"} </pre> This produce <pre> err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found dependency cycles in the following relationships: Package[zsh] => Notify[/usr/bin/cowsay 'hello world'], Notify[/usr/bin/cowsay 'hello world'] => Package[zsh], Notify[/usr/bin/cowsay 'hello world'] => Class[main]; try using the '--graph' option and open the '.dot' files in OmniGraffle or GraphViz </pre> If I add: <pre> class{"foo": stage => "first"} </pre> It sorts itself out. I am not sure what the correct behavior would be, at first I think we should just pull the inherited class into the 'first' stage as well but I can imagine that causing weird issues too? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
