---------------------------------------- Bug #18399: Empty resource collectors can break long relationship chains https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18399#change-101156 * Author: Martin Collins * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Hi, When using chained resources, with a collection within the string, if the collection is empty, the chain is broken and the resources either side do not depend on each other. Example: test/manifests/init.pp class test { $cr = ["1", "2"] exec{"pre": command => "/bin/true" } exec{"post": command => "/bin/true" } test::test{$cr: } Exec["pre"] -> Exec<| tag == 'inter' |> -> Exec["post"] } test/manifests/test.pp define test::test{ exec{"echo $name": command => "/bin/echo $name", tag => "inter" } } Run as is: !non_empty_collection.jpg! If we comment out: test::test{$cr: } So it is empty, we get "empty_collection.jpg", this: !empty_collection.jpg! To get the desired result and what I would have expected as the default, I have to manually add another relationship between "pre" and "post" to cater for the empty collection. Exec["pre"] -> Exec<| tag == 'inter' |> -> Exec["post"] Exec["pre"] -> Exec["post"] Resulting in: !workaround.jpg! Is this the intended behaviour? I would expect the workaround relationship to be implicit (Pre -> a collection that happens to be empty -> post), as I do not know how many tags of "inter" will be created (in my real use, this is pulled from hiera) Thanks, Martin -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
