Puppet users - Aug 2007 - Defined function and classes

Hi all

I am using the defined function and it seems to work for resource types
but fails with classes - I am setting a variable like so:

$test = defined(Class[testing])

The test always returns false.  Similarly defined functions for resource
types like:

$testtype = defined(File[test])

Return true.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

James Turnbull

Yeah, an inconsistency -- just use the naked class (or definitino)  
name when checking to see if a class is defined.
