So I'm running puppet 0.24.8 and I'm trying to use a definition where sometimes the "name" parameter will be the same but other parameters will be different and puppet is complaining because it expects "name" parameter to be unique.
Is that the way it's supposed to be? And if so, why? The file resource the definition creates will be different every time so there's no collision Here's the scenario: I have a list of files I want to create in 2 different locations and I use an array of those file names to set up an implicit loop. The definition then takes the name and a path parameter to create each file. The problem is that if the name has to be unique, I can't use an implicit loop because I use the same array of file names twice, but with a different path parameter. So now, if this is how puppet is supposed to work, I'm going to have to explicitly call the definition for each and every file I want to create and pass a unique "name" parameter that's effectively useless. I'm confused why definition "name" parameters have to be unique when the resources they're creating are unique. I thought the whole point of definitions was reusability.
