Issue #10465 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Status changed from Needs Decision to Closed

Oliver I understand your use case but I think that, as an administrator relying 
on puppet success/failure for sensitive orchestration, I would want to make 
sure that bugs of this category are actually fixed in the underlying code, 
rather than rely on some capability in Puppet to detect and work around 
transient or spurious errors.

Feature #10465: Provide a new "obsessive" mode which queries resources again 
after sync
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10465#change-67124

Author: Oliver Hookins
Status: Closed

Category: provider
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Quite frequently there will be cases where the providers think they have done 
the right thing and report success even though the end result is not 
successful. This results in continual runs where there are successful changes 
but the overall outcome is the same - the system state is not what you want it 
to be.

I would like for there to be a mode you can optionally enable that triggers a 
second query from the provider after the sync has occurred to see if the 
desired changes were actually done. If not, trigger a real error (which in fact 
is just reflecting more accurately the state of the machine than if we were to 
not perform this checking).

In the case where Puppet is being used for larger orchestrated upgrades this is 
an essential component to figuring out if the desired changes were completed 
successfully and thus attention can be turned to the next machine(s) in the 
workflow.
