Puppet users - Jun 2011 - require? before? I need to have a dependency in place . . .

Hi,
I need to have a network interface set up with puppet before I can use
the interface (as a facter fact) in a subsequent class which uses the
IP of the interface in a template . . .   So I really need the
interface class to execute on the client, the client to resend its
facts, then for puppet to continue on.

I''ve tried using "require
Class[''interface'']" in the webserver class
and i''ve tried using "before Class[''webserver]" in
the interface
class . . .

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks a lot,
Guy

P.S. - does anyone

Guy,
To requery the facts during would, most likely, invalidate your catalogue
for that run.

I''ve handled this by doing the work over 2 puppet runs.

I have a custom fact that requires an X display (thanks to an install app
that requires X display, even when using command line options and silent
mode).

If the custom fact returns it''s default value (ie. the install app
can''t/hasn''t run), I don''t do anything with that app
in the current puppet
run.
The particular class then just installs the ruby gem headless so the fact
can use it on the next execution.

Cheers
Mike
