Puppet users - May 2014 - puppet resource (ral) calls validate on custom (network_device) type

Hi everyone,

I am writing a custom network device type and ran into some behavior I'm 
not sure how to work around.

When running puppet resource to get all instances of a network_device type, 
validate is called.

(Note: this is not the same resource type from the puppetlabs-f5 module.)

I get the following:

________________________________________

root@traveler:~# 
FACTER_url='https://username:password@loadbalancer.example.com/'; puppet
resource f5_node

Error: Could not run: Validation of F5_node[/Common/TestNode2000] failed: 
ipaddress is required when ensure is present
Wrapped exception:
ipaddress is required when ensure is present

_________________________________________
Parameter ipaddress is correctly prefetched / set.

Also, modifying a resource (or creating) silently does nothing:

_________________________________________

root@traveler:~/Downloads# 
FACTER_url='https://username:password@loadbalancer.example.com/'; puppet
resource f5_node '/TestPartition2000/TestNode2000' ensure=present 
ipaddress='1.2.3.5'

f5_node { '/TestPartition2000/TestNode2000':
ensure => 'present',
connection_limit => '1',
dynamic_ratio => '1',
ipaddress => '1.1.1.97',
rate_limit => '1',
ratio => '1',
}

_________________________________________

My question is, is this expected behavior ? Why is validate failing ?

Why doesn't resource create not work ?

Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks!
