I did some tests prior to post this message as it was causing me troubles while trying to do a nodeless setup using hiera, with classes, defines and resources assigned using hiera. I have a vagrant-based public project of a "node-less" project you can check/test to see how it behaves, and from what I can see, in the graph generated using the agent, the dependency is present in the relationship.dot: https://github.com/gnubila-france/puppet-vagrant-playground . (before generating the graph I removed the classes declaration from the hieradata/common.yaml file to simplify the graph output) Here is the png of the generated relationships.dot for the client VM: https://files.bapt.name/relationships.png . It contains the relationship between mysql service and package. Am I mis-interpreting this code and graph?
