Issue #3758 has been updated by Andrew Parker. Status changed from Accepted to Closed
This is unfortunately the outcome of the beast of inheritance as it is defined in the puppet language. We haven't been able to figure out reasonable semantics for variable lookup and includes in an inheritance hierarchy and so unless we want to get rid of inheritance (which is unneeded since defined types and parameterized classes were added) then there is nothing we can do. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3758: node inheritance locks scope https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3758#change-64595 Author: Kjetil Torgrim Homme Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: parser Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: when a resource is defined via a class included in a parent node, the scope seems to get fixed, and later overrides will not use the most recent scope. class foo { file { "/tmp/blub": } } class foo::overrides inherits foo { File["/tmp/blub"] { source => "puppet:///foo.$var" } } node base_node { include foo } node 'feh' inherits base_node { $var = "testing" include foo::overrides } "feh" is the name of my workstation. when I run the above code, it complains about the file "foo." missing. if I move "include foo" into the feh node, I get the expected error about "foo.testing" missing. setting $var in base_node before "include foo" also works. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
