Issue #19561 has been updated by Rob Nelson. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information Assignee set to Anthony Ryan
Anthony, can you provide some examples of what you are implementing currently and how you envision a fix would be implemented? At first blush this sounds reasonable but a more verbose description would help ensure that. I’ve put this ticket’s status into “Needs more Information” and assigned it to you. Please either (a) update it with the information I’ve requested and re-assign it to me if you need more help, or (b) change the status to “Closed” if you were able to resolve the issue on your own. ---------------------------------------- Feature #19561: Providers should be able to extend the type they implement https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19561#change-98312 * Author: Anthony Ryan * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Anthony Ryan * Category: provider * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: type provider extending * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Currently, the only way to extend a core type, such as the "package" type when defining a provider is to overwrite the original type, adding in newparams()'s and various attributes. It should be possible to achieve this using only the provider class. This will resolve issues where parameters are needed in a type for a single provider, such as install_options in the MSI provider. Additionally it would help allow providers to allow advanced functionality in a more future-proof way, inheriting changes to the core type with version changes. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
