Exported resources not realizing

[David Kerr]

I'm sure i'm doing something incorrectly, I'm basing this off of what I've seen in other modules, but it's not working as I'd expect.

Specifically, If i change the parameters to server_config. My mongo.conf doesn't ever reflect that change.

As a matter of fact, I can delete mongo.conf and run puppet agent --test and it will not get replaced.

If i remove the "@@" it works correctly, (except i don't get the exported resource that I want to use elsewhere).

I've got a node:

node /^test\d+$/ {

  include stdlib

  include cc-mongo

  @@cc-mongo::server_config{ '$fqdn':

        sequence => 0}

}

and cc-mongo::server_config:

define cc-mongo::server_config (

  $replSet     = "$environment",

  $server_name = "$hostname",

  $ipaddress   = "$ipaddress",

  $sequence    = 0,

) {

  file { 'mongo.conf':

    path    => '/etc/mongod.conf',

    notify  => Service['mongod'],

    owner   => mongod,

    group   => mongod,

    mode    => 0640,

    content => template('cc-mongo/mongod.conf.erb');

  }

}

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Can you show how and where you are realizing the exported resource? From
what I can see in your code you will export it ok but you're not
realizing it anywhere....

Ah-ha! 

i had gotten confused by the examples I was using because they were realizing with a collector. 

(making me think that If i didn't want to collect I didn't need to realize).

Now that I've added the code to realize it's working. 

Thank you!
