Puppet users - Oct 2006 - 0.20.0 and Schedules...

Hey thanks for the new version, but I seem to be having some troubles.

I have a number of schedules defined in my configuration, something like:

schedule { once_a_day:
        period => daily,
        repeat => 1,
}


Using 0.20.0 of the server I get:

err: Could not retrieve configuration: Duplicate definition:
schedule[once_a_day] is already defined in file
/etc/puppet/manifests/schedules.pp at line 7; cannot redefine in file
/etc/puppet/manifests/schedules.pp at line 7

(Line 7 is the end of my first schedule in schedules.pp)

Am I using a depreciated form for defining schedules?

-r''

Are you importing the same file twice or something?  Puppet should catch 
that, but I can''t imagine what else is happening.  I don''t
have any
problems with that simple schedule defined in a file.

I''m going to be out of town for the next few days with spotty
''net
access (I''ll be at RubyConf), but if you can send me more information I
can try to figure out what''s happening.

So okay, I did some more testing and this is what I found out.  This
problem (for me at least) seems to be with the import command.  I
think the best way is to give some examples.

This works:

In file site.pp :
--------------------------
node default {
}

schedule { ''foo'' :
        period => daily,
        range => "2-4",
        repeat => 1,
}

schedule { ''bar'' :
        period => weekly,
        range => "2-4",
        repeat => 1,
}

case $hostname {
  localhost:       { $myvar = ''blark'' }
  bar:        { $myvar = ''test'' }
}
--------------------------

However, the following example does not work when I put the different
parts in separate files:

In file site.pp:
------------------------
import "servervars.pp"
import "schedules.pp"

node default {
}
-------------------------

in file servervars.pp:
-------------------------
case $hostname {
  localhost:       { $myvar = ''blark'' }
  bar:        { $myvar = ''test'' }
}
--------------------------

And in file schedules.pp:
-------------------------
schedule { ''foo'' :
        period => daily,
        range => "2-4",
        repeat => 1,
}

schedule { ''bar'' :
        period => weekly,
        range => "2-4",
        repeat => 1,
}
----------------------------


When I run puppet I get:
"Cannot reassign variable myvar in file
/etc/puppet/manifests/servervars.pp at line 2"

If I remove the import servervars.pp I get:
"Duplicate definition: schedule[foo] is already defined in file
/etc/puppet/manifests/schedules.pp at line 5; cannot redefine in file
/etc/puppet/manifests/schedules.pp at line 5"


There are strace''s of the no imports and of the importing just he
schedules.pp located at:

Also include are the manifests that generated them.  Thanks for taking
a look at this, but enjoy yourself at the conference - this can all
wait...

As mentioned in the other related thread, I''ll fix this bug ASAP, but 
you can trivially work around it by moving your schedules into a class 
and then including that class in your site.pp file.
