onlyif executed out of order

[John Shoemaker]

I have a basic setup where I have an Exec that is in a class. The Exec has an onlyif that checks for the existence of a file. Despite me indicating that the Class requires that File, the onlyif check is executed before the File.

Basic example

https://gist.github.com/b1e1741d686881f115c4 

It works if I run apply twice (file gets created first time but exec doesn't execute, exec gets run the second time)

(I get the same behavior if I manually set up the File -> Exec relationship too, so I don't think its related to the Class)

The obfuscation it seems you have done here doesn't make this clear (at least to me).

It would appear your "only if" is executing, as-directed, to see if it may execute the exec within the class. (Assuming you have replaced "apprunner" with "my_user" in places, there)

It might help to de-obfuscate a bit ... or, make it clear where the users are the same/different before the obfuscated class and the (non-obfuscated?) log messages.

I'll try creating a real single file example that shows the issue.

If I put a "Require" on the exec itself, it works. It seems intuitive to me that if I setup Class -> File, then the File should get executed before anything in that Class. But that isn't the case.
