---------------------------------------- Feature #7184: bind actions first, faces second, to support multiple versions with external extension https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7184#change-92362 * Author: Daniel Pittman * Status: Closed * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: Faces * Target version: 2.7.3 * Affected Puppet version: development * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- At the moment we bind to the face first, then find the action associated with that. For external actions we really want to be binding to the action *first*, then running it in the context of the face version it was defined against. This gives coherent behaviour for the external user, and makes face versioning much more useful for them. Specifically, the following properties: * actions can only be found in one of: * bound to the default face version, inside that file * in the load path as `lib/puppet/face/#{face}/#{action}.rb` * the *first* instance of `#{action}` is the one used * when loading an action, identify the face it wants, and load that This means that invoking an action that binds to version 1 of a face *can't* call an action that binds to version 2 of the face, or vice-versa, without them making special arrangements for that to happen. This is desirable; we are not including any "proxy" connection between the two in this version of the feature. The general expectation of use is that folks will build their actions depending on one of two things: * actions provided in the core face, for the version they bind to * other actions they write, binding to the same core face version Given that, these restrictions seem reasonable, without making actions vanish just because the default version of a face changes. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
