I've simplified things a bit in the description to make it easy to read. I don't really have $apps = { test => { url=> "https://mygitrepos/myapp.git", root=> "/opt/apps/myapp", user=>"root", require=>Class[myclass], } }
Instead, I pass a YAML hash through an ENC (Foreman to be precise): test: url: "https://mygitrepos/myapp.git" root:"/opt/apps/myapp" user: root require: Class[myclass] I finally understand this won't work because this is expanded to require=>"Class[myclass]" instead of require=>Class[myclass]. I was mislead by the error message that does not have any quote to distinguish strings from the rest. As suggested in the previous post doing : requirement: myclass and having into define application::install($root,$url,$user="root",$requirement=undef) exec{"$cmd": command=>$cmd, unless=>$unless, user=>$user, require=>[Package["git"],Class[$requirement]] } This is not as powerful as what I intended first (because I'm restricted to class, not all types I want), but for now, this is enough for my precise problem.
