The problem looks like Stefan's manifest doesn't specify that the file 
/tmp/foobinary ought to be executable. So even though the file exists, it 
doesn't satisfy the requirements for the command being present, and the 
provider never becomes suitable. It works if the file resource specifies mode 
appropriately.

Feature #6907: Ensure providers can be used in the same puppet run that their 
prerequisites are delivered in

Author: Nigel Kersten
Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review
Priority: Urgent

Target version: 2.7.x

Branch: https://github.com/nicklewis/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/6907


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.
