Issue #8757 has been updated by Matt Pascoe.
My puppetmaster is an ubuntu 10.04 box running an ubuntu package 2.7.1-1ubuntu1 The client is ubuntu 10.04 running ubuntu package 0.25.4-2ubuntu6 I have also played around a bit with a puppetmaster running on ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu package 0.25.4-2ubuntu6 They all seemed to exhibit the same issue.. so I've either got my syntax all out of whack (quite likely!) or the issue is in several versions. Thanks ---------------------------------------- Bug #8757: Resources type and metaparameters don't seem to work, specifically notify. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8757 Author: Matt Pascoe Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Matt Pascoe Category: metaparameters Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.0 Keywords: resources purge a2mod apache Branch: First off I will quickly explain what it is I'm trying to do. I have installed the puppetlabs-apache-0.0.3 module that provides a new type called a2mod. My goal is to use virtual resources to collect a list of modules to enable/disable on a node. I would also however, like to ensure that all other apache modules are disabled on the system. I found the resources type has a purge option. I then updated the provider to have an instances section since it did not have one. It looks like this: class << self attr_accessor :defpath end @defpath = "/etc/apache2/mods-available/" def self.instances self.defpath = [self.defpath] unless self.defpath.is_a? Array instances = [] self.defpath.each do |path| unless FileTest.directory?(path) Puppet.debug "Apache module path %s does not exist" % path next end check = [:ensure] if public_method_defined? :enabled? check << :enable end Dir.entries(path).each do |name| if name =~ /.load/ name = name.sub(".load","") instances << new(:name => name, :path => path) end end end instances end I then used the resources type to purge out unused apache modules. This seemingly does the job I wanted it to do. However, I wanted to notify my apache to restart if it had disabled any modules. I added the notify metaparameter to the configuration but it would never notify. resources { 'a2mod': tag => 'modtest', notify => Exec['apache2reload'], purge => true, loglevel => 'notice' } I then tried to add a tag for testing purposes and it would not see the tag being set. I could however use loglevel but it would seem other metaparameters would not work properly. I'm assuming that all parameters on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html should be available to the resources type as indicated by the documentation for the resources type. So, I'm wanting to understand if "all" metaparameters should work with the resources type or not. And, is there any possible way to do a purge that would allow me to do a notify of another resource. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
