Yeah. I worry a little about the presentation, since you would get something
like:
<pre>
file { '/tmp':
ensure => 'link',
# ctime => 'Tue Nov 08 10:32:12 -0800 2011',
group => '0',
mode => '755',
# mtime => 'Tue Nov 08 10:27:22 -0800 2011',
owner => '0',
target => 'private/tmp',
type => 'link',
}
</pre>
...which might be seen as less than perfect. We could obviously sort to put,
eg, commented attributes at the tail of the list, rather than in whatever order
they presently are.

Bug #13226: puppet resource should not return unusable attributes
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13226#change-58529
Author: Ryan Coleman
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Randall Hansen

Target version:
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch:
Example:
<code>
[root@centos6 ~]# puppet resource file /etc/sudoers
file { '/etc/sudoers':
ensure => 'file',
content => '{md5}25e8c9fee3af1a108332dc2cd985f41f',
ctime => 'Sun Mar 18 05:21:44 +0100 2012',
group => '0',
mode => '440',
mtime => 'Sun Mar 18 05:21:44 +0100 2012',
owner => '0',
type => 'file',
}
</code>
Puppet resource returns attributes like type, which are read-only and not valid
in a manifest a user would write. This is ok for inspection but if a user adds
'-e' to the above command, modifies a property and writes out of the editor,
puppet will fail.
Running with `-e`, we should show these attributes commented:
# type => 'file' # Read-only attribute
