Issue #14652 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
Here is a really simple example of this:
<pre>
[13:56:42][Ruby(ruby-1.9.3-p194)][Git(master)] andy:puppet
> bundle exec puppet apply -e 'notify { "foo": require => Notify[foo] }'
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.06 seconds
[13:56:47][Ruby(ruby-1.9.3-p194)][Git(master)] andy:puppet
> bundle exec puppet apply -e 'notify { "foo": require => Notify[bar] } notify
> { "bar": require => Notify[foo] }'
Error: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(Notify[bar] => Notify[foo] => Notify[bar])
Try the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle
or GraphViz
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.05 seconds
</pre>
I would have expected that first `puppet apply` to either fail with a
dependency cycle or to have executed the `notify`.

Bug #14652: Resource requiring self fails to apply but does not generate an
error, even with --debug
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14652#change-92713
* Author: David Gwilliam
* Status: Needs Decision
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* Category: dependency graph
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12
* Keywords: customer
* Branch:
----------------------------------------
class test {
file { '/tmp/file1.txt':
ensure => present,
require => File['/tmp/file1.txt'],
}
file { '/tmp/file2.txt':
ensure => present,
require => File['/tmp/file1.txt'],
}
}
The above code generates an obvious cyclical dependency, but does not return an
error on `puppet agent -t --debug`, though the following is seen:
debug: /Stage[main]/Test/File[/tmp/file1.txt]/require: requires
File[/tmp/file1.txt]
