Hi
so my fix for #3540 [1] revealed another problem #3555 [2] which I try
to fix now. But I'm a currently a bit lost in finding the right
point to
change the provider to the correct behavior.
So my initial idea was to tell the provider that it is the same if a
list is purged or set to absent. However I couldn't really figure out
where the ultimate decision is made that the list isn't absent hence
it
must be created and how to overwrite that behavior. (Btw: to me it
looks
only like a transaction reporting problem, as the rest works fine!)
Later, I had the idea to overwrite the ensure property to absent after
purging, so everything would be fine. However I considered that as a
stupid idea which might have nasty side effects. So now I'm now a bit
stuck and only other bad ideas come up. :/
Hence, I would be glad if somebody could give me some hints of what
might be the appropriate solution or at least where to look at the
code
and to understand the current concept.
Well, there's a change_to_s method that you could override to provide
the right message.
My guess is that the default 'ensure' type is getting confused somehow
because it doesn't know what message it should use for 'purged'.
Something like:
def change_to_s(current_value, newvalue)
if newvalue == :purged
return "Purged #{resource}"
else
return super
end
end
Not tested, but something like that.
Lemme know if that doesn't work out.
And I'm stoked to see someone's actually using this type. :)
