Hi Rob,
Thank you for the reply.
The missing comma is a type in the post. In my actual test, I had the comma.
I figured out how to enable noop = true for my custom function.
I edited my custom function
from
{:name => package, :ensure => "latest"}
to
{:name => package, :noop => true, :ensure => "latest"}
Thanks,
Stacey.
