Hi,
please note that this is a very unusual structure. Properties that are
not assigned a desired value will just be left as is by the agent. Upon
creating a new resource on the managed system, the *ensure* property can
impose a default value.
Are you sure that you want to force the user to supply a property value
that Puppet will keep enforcing?
If so, your code is almost correct, assuming that :absent is not a valid
value for your property. If it is, you may want to pick another default
such as :foo.
newproperty(:bp) do
defaultto do :absent end
validate do |value|
if value == :absent
raise ArgumentError, "'bp' property is mandatory"
end
end
end
HTH,
Felix
