Puppet users - Nov 2013 - require a defined type from another module

In module A:

define A::foo(....)

In module B:

require A

file{"bar":
    require => A::foo[''baz'']
}

A::foo{"baz":}

However puppet doesn''t seem to like the syntax around 
require=>A::foo[''baz''].

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Try A:Foo instead of A::foo.

Hi,

be carefull when you include a module with the ''require''
keyword instead
of ''include''

with require, the class becomes a dependency for everything that''s in 
that manifest.

See 
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_classes.html#declaring-a-class-with-require
for the explanation.

Using require <module>  generates quickly dependency loops.

Hope this helps

Jo

Thanks but I still get a syntax error when doing

file{"bar":
    require => A:foo[''baz'']
}

Evidently you have not understood the advice for which you are giving 
thanks, because it was to NOT DO THAT.  Instead, do this:

file { ''bar'':
  # initial uppercase name components:
  require => A::Foo[''baz'']
}

Note there that

   1. EACH name component in a resource reference must be capitalized (i.e. 
   both the ''A'' and the ''Foo''), and
   2. the name component separator is a double colon (::), not a single 
   colon.

In addition, the actual names of modules, classes, and resource types 
should begin with *lowercase* letters, so that resource references (which 
use capital letters) are distinguished from other uses of class and 
resource names.  Thus, you should not have any module named "A";
rather, it
should be named "a".  Your definitions should thus have the form

# initial lowercase letters:
define a::foo(...) {
  #...
}

The autoloader will expect to find that definition in <module 
path>/a/manifests/foo.pp, where in principle case matters, but in practice 
that depends on the filesystem.
