I have been backed into a corner, by they way puppet works, but some third
party module.
Basically I have two resources defined:
a {$somevar:}
b::b {$somrvar:}
both have code that looks something like this:
if (!defined(File[$name])) {
file { $name:
...
}
According to the documentation 'defined' is dependent on parse order. So
resource definition 'a' should be parsed first and win. But it doesn't, no
matter how I order 'a' and 'b::b', resource definition 'b::b' always
defines the file. I even tried puppet version 3.1.1. Same problem. My
problem is that resource "b::b" does it horribly wrong. It causes the
runtime of my manifest to balloon out from 2mins to over 10 minutes. It
uses the wrong group. That would be okay if I could just put 'a' first and
have 'b::b' go silent.
Does anyone know why this is happening? How is "b::b" being parsed first
even though "a" is ahead in the file?
