Closing as a duplicate of #20675. ---------------------------------------- Bug #20715: A resource requiring itself fails silently, no error or warning generated https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20715#change-90981 * Author: Diego Morales * Status: Duplicate * Priority: Low * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If someone by mistake makes a resource requires itself, the resource does not get applied, and no warning or error is reported. Dependent resources also "fail" silently. Not a very bright thing to do, but might happen by mistake, pass sometime unoticed and/or be annoying to debug if happens inside of a somewhat complex manifest. It would be nice to get an error thrown. Example code (just 'Hey there!' is printed): <pre> notify { 'I require myself': require => Notify['I require myself'], } notify { 'I fail silently': require => Notify['I require myself'], } notify { 'Hey there!': } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
