Issue #14652 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
In 2.6.x, puppet would report this as an error: <pre> err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found dependency cycles in the following relationships: File[/tmp/file1.txt] => File[/tmp/file1.txt]; try using the '--graph' option and open the '.dot' files in OmniGraffle or GraphViz </pre> ---------------------------------------- Bug #14652: Resource requiring self fails to apply but does not generate an error, even with --debug https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14652#change-92718 * Author: David Gwilliam * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Andrew Parker * 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] -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
