Issue #15777 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar.
This is a very long standing bug, this top scope statement gets auto imported first time any node reference this class - or any manual import statements. From that point onward its seen as top scope for the life of the puppet master process and gets applied to all nodes. I definitely recall a ticket about disallowing any top scope resources in modules but cant find it now ---------------------------------------- Bug #15777: When a class init.pp manifest includes itself, the class may leak out in unexpected ways. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15777#change-69462 Author: Ken Johnson Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: autoloader Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12 Keywords: Branch: If we have the following init.pp for the class 'test'. <pre> class test { file { 'test.txt': path => '/tmp/test.txt', ensure => file, owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 0644, source => 'puppet:///modules/test/test.txt', } } class {'test':} -- </pre> and you have a population of nodes where only *some* of them have the class 'test' assigned to them, then the following unexpected behavior occurs. If only agents who don't have this class included in their node definition run, then the class will not be applied. However, if an agent runs against that puppet master process who *does* have that class assigned, then subsequent runs by agents who do not have it assigned will have the class applied anyway. In short, this is a malformed manifest, but we should be more defensive here. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
