Hi,
>>The Exec['installCassandra'] executed correctly immediately prior to the attempt to create the file['cassandraEnv'] resource. So I know the appropriate >>information is available from the file system. It is a new server, so exec['installCassandra'] will install it but after that, your custom fact cassandra_home_dir (=empty) won't be updated anymore during the Puppet run, only at beginning. That's why it does work for the second run, as it is already installed. Stefan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
