Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-1451 Automatically call apply_prep before `resources` step in YAML plans Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/07/02 9:29 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Nick Lewis Currently, if the user needs to apply_prep before a resources step in a YAML plan, they need to have an eval step that calls it. This is a bit unnatural in a YAML plan and requires some more knowledge before successfully using the resources step. We should figure out some way to automatically call apply_prep on the user's behalf, potentially either the first time a resources step is encountered or every time a resources step is encountered. We could also add a parameter to the resources step to toggle whether or not to apply_prep beforehand. Add Comment

Currently, if the user needs to {{apply_prep}} before a {{resources}} step in a YAML plan, they need to have an {{eval}} step that calls it. This is a bit unnatural in a YAML plan and requires some more knowledge before successfully using the {{resources}} step. We should figure out some way to automatically call {{apply_prep}} on the user's behalf, potentially either the first time a resources step is encountered or every time a resources step is encountered. We could also add a parameter to the resources step to toggle whether or not to apply_prep beforehand.

UPDATE: Ideally we would be able to track whether apply_prep is necessary for each time. As a starting point we will just implement the easier solution which appears to be to just call apply_prep each time. As we learn more about how to apply_prep smarter we can improve.

Change By: Cas Donoghue Release Notes Summary: When using a {{resources}} step in a Yaml plan, {{apply_prep}} is automatically performed on the targets for that step.
