Issue #6907 has been updated by Luke Kanies.
That's a change, but it's in line with user expectations, so I think it makes sense. Users can already select an unsuitable provider (to support exactly this kind of lazy suitability evaluation), and it makes more sense to lazily fail if the provider isn't suitable later in the transaction than at the start. Unsuitable providers will still never be used, this just allows them to be selected (in the off chance they become suitable within the transaction). As to true conditions becoming false, that's already a problem, isn't it? ---------------------------------------- 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: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Urgent Assignee: Jacob Helwig Category: provider Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/lak/puppet/tree/tickets/2.7.x/6907-pluginsync_and_providers 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.
