I see at least two possibilities:
1) Use resource chaining and tag-selected collections:
1a) either automatic tags: File["myfile"] -> Exec<| tag =
'module::yeah' |>
1b) or manual tags: File["myfile"] -> Exec<| tag = 'tag-I-explicitly-
declared-via-my-hash' |>
2) Use resource defaults:
class module::yeah {
file { 'myfile': }
# I think this is scoped to the class:
Exec { require => File['myfile'] }
$hash =
parseyaml(inline_template('hereigeneratemynicehash.to_yaml'))
create_resources ('exec', $hash)
}
Test these, of course. I am uncertain whether create_resources() has
different semantics in these cases than would ordinary resource
declarations.
