No. Why would you suppose that? When you write a resource declaration of
the form
someresource { [ 'title1', 'title2']:
param1 => value1,
param2 => value2
}
it is shorthand for separate resource declarations, one for each title
given, all having the specified parameters:
someresource { 'title1':
param1 => value1,
param2 => value2
}
someresource { 'title2':
param1 => value1,
param2 => value2
}
The use of an array to specify multiple titles is perhaps a bit quirky in
itself (though useful!), but I don't see why anyone would suppose that
resources specified that way would be assigned different parameters from
each other.
There is nothing specific to the File resource type here, but even if there
were, why would you expect Puppet to suppose that you only wanted recursion
on one of the specified resources? I don't see it.
