Issue #1878 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Status changed from Needs Decision to Rejected
I am inclined to this that this is a bad change, at least in the specific circumstance cited: there are lots of reasons you might fail to fetch the file from the server, including the file being removed, access control forbidding access, SSL changes, and so forth. Unless we distinguish those, triggering some exec action feels very much like a case of working around a problem that you shouldn't have. If we had use cases that were not contrived, or similarly working around problems, I would accept that, but it otherwise seems better solved with a more targetted feature (eg: invoke some notification action), or fixing the root cause (eg: file is not accessible) ---------------------------------------- Feature #1878: Trigger on failure of another type such as file? https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1878 Author: Hari Sekhon Status: Rejected Priority: Low Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: transactions Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Branch: I can find no mention of whether this is possible from looking at the type reference. I want a specific exec to run only when another file definition fails to source it's file from a puppet:// server. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
