Issue #18490 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
David has written an excellent, technical explanation of exactly what I believe is the correct and right solution: merge the resources, and spend the time to solve the containment / backtracking problem. Right now we report issues with one path, but we can absolutely handle multiple paths, either by this proxy thing, or by making the change that a single graph point can have multiple catalog sources. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18490: Duplicate resources can make re-usable Forge modules difficult https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18490#change-100127 * Author: Ryan Coleman * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Ryan Coleman * Category: modules * Target version: 3.x * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- [EDIT] Re-working this description based on feedback in comment #7. User installs module A to provide a web application. User installs module B to provide a database server. Both module A and module B declare a package resource for foo. User declares classes from both module A and B on the same node. User receives duplicate resource declaration error, Puppet run fails. I wish to prevent customers of Forge and Puppet from experiencing this frustration, when both classes really do need that package for their functionality but cannot be used together as-is. I'd love direct questions if you need to understand this better from my perspective. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
