Re: [Puppet Users] Virtual ressource in a define

[Silviu Paragina]

Each time a definition is "called" it defines all the resources. If the 
definition for the virtual package isn't variable you should put it in a 
class as classes get included only once. Otherwise you will have to 
rename the resource depending on the variables of the definition 
(doesn't seem the case here, because it is a package)

Ex:
class clspackage
{
 @package { postfix: }
}

define mydefine1 {
 include clspackage
}

define mydefine2 {
 mydefine1 { $name: }

 realize Package[postfix]
}

Hi,

I get a "duplicate definition problem" with Puppet 0.24.8 when using
virtual ressource in a define:

Here is a sample :

define mydefine1 {
  @package { postfix: }
}

define mydefine2 {
  mydefine1 { $name: }

  realize Package[postfix]
}

mydefine2 { test1: }
mydefine2 { test2: }

Here is the problem:

Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError:
Duplicate definition: Package[postfix] is already defined in file
test.pp at line 2

If i move the virtual resource in a class all is working fine. For instance:

class common {
  @package { postfix: }
}

define mydefine1 {
  include common
}

define mydefine2 {
  mydefine1 { $name: }

  realize Package[postfix]
}

mydefine2 { test1: }
mydefine2 { test2: }

Does someone know if it's a bug or if i'm doing things the wrong way?

Thanks!
