I am looking for a way to create a dependency that ensures that a
definition has been "called/executed/instantiated" with the
"require"
or "before" parameter.
I realize there are several posts that confirm that this should be
possible:
define testdef {
}
file { "testFile":
name => "/tmp/testFile",
require => Testdef["test"]
}
However when I attempt to run it I get this:
err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find
dependency Testmodule::Testdef[test] for File[testFile] at /etc/puppet/
modules/testmodule/manifests/init.pp:33

Thanks. That was what I was missing. So apparently you need to "call" a definition before you can require it.

The proper wording of that statement would be: "You need to *manage* a *resource*, before you can require it."

Makes sense now. Got confused with definitions for some reason. Thanks again. On Mar 17, 9:32 am, David Schmitt <da...@dasz.at> wrote:> On 3/17/2010 3:56 PM, Mike wrote: > > > Thanks.
