Where did you put the dependency? What puppet version are you using. Normally this works: define task_one ( $user = 'root' ) { file { '/tmp/one': owner => $user, content => $user, } } define task_two ( $user = 'root' ) { file { '/tmp/two': owner => $user, content => $user, } } task_one { 'foo': } task_two { 'foo': } Task_one['foo'] -> Task_two['foo'] You can also place the order inside the define: define task_two ( $user = 'root') { file { '/tmp/two': owner => $name, content => $name, } Task_one["$name"] -> Task_two["$name"] } > > > Thanks & greetings! > Axel. > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/puppet-users/-/zUkjN-osHugJ. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
