By the way, ignoring the technical aspect, how do you think defined should work
in this case? In this case, what aleart should be printed, or what error should
be printed? This is a rather contrived example, but I'm not really sure what
puppet should actually do here with your suggestion. (Please excuse my syntax
errors).
node 'test-node' {
include classA
include classB
}
class classA {
if !defined Package['apache']
{
package { 'apache':
ensure => installed,
}
alert("Package apache included by classA")
}
}
class classB {
if !defined Package['apache']
{
package { 'apache':
ensure => installed,
}
alert("Package apache included by classB")
}
}
