Issue #12789 has been updated by Chris Price.

File test1.pp added
File test2.pp added
Status changed from Investigating to Needs More Information
Assignee changed from Chris Price to Thomas Sturm

Hi Thomas,

I'm unable to reproduce this so far.  I've attached 2 simple manifests that I'm 
running with simply "puppet apply".  If I'm understanding your description 
correctly, the first one should match up with your expected behavior, and the 
second one (test2.pp) should trigger the error case that you've described 
(because it indirectly includes the overridden resource via the intermediate 
class "foo".)  However, they both appear to respect the overridden parameter 
when I run them.

Perhaps you can take a peek at them and see if you can tell what is different 
about what I'm doing here as compared to what's happening in your environment?

Thanks!

Bug #12789: Overwriting a class that's using a definition fails
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12789#change-58557

Hello,

please apologize if this was reported elsewhere already...

We have class X that's included in the default node. The class uses a defined 
type of the same class with ensure => present. We also have class Y that 
inherits X and sets this defined type ensure => absent. If we assign Y to a 
node via another class or via ENC, it does nothing. The defined type is still 
ensure => present. However, if we assign class Y via a node definition, it 
works, the define is ensure => absent. 

Overwriting native puppet types always works, but as soon as you are 
overwriting a definition, the overwrite does just nothing.

If this is supposed to work, I think we hit a bug here...

Best regards,
Thomas
