Auto*

[Trevor Vaughan]

Sitting here at PuppetConf and I just added a PR for the ability to use autorequire, autobefore, autonotify, and autosubscribe to custom/native types.

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-3331

It worked during my testing, but anyone that's willing to externally verify would be most appreciated.

Thanks, and hope everyone is having a good conference!

Autonotify...?

I like your way of thinking big and building good things but...this
makes me shudder a bit.

Are you sure we want that? Are you sure *you* do? ;-)

Cheers,

Yup, I'm 100% sure that I want it.

Though it should be used with care, it can be quite useful when you have a set of custom types that you've built yourself and need them to work in sane ways.

More importantly, when I want to notify a service *but it might not exist*, I need autonotify because the Puppet DSL doesn't allow me to not care if a resource exists.

Hey Trevor,

are you trying to goad me into speaking out for the defined() function?
I'm not falling for that :)

I can see the pain point (although I cannot say I feel the pain, really).

It would be neat if this would come with a batch of matching
metaparameters, so that I can set 'autonotify => false' if I'm chicken.
This should perhaps even be the default. Thoughts?

Best,
Felix

Ah, well the way this is set up is that it only affects defined types.

So:

autorequires(:file) do

  ['foo','bar']

end

autonotify(:exec) do

  ['fancy_stuff']

end

However, if you're writing defined types, you're probably adept enough to not shoot yourself in the face (hopefully). In this case, it's VERY clear what you're doing since all of the functionality is strictly separated.

I started out just doing require and before but realized that I could stuff the other two in there easily and would prefer to have the functionality if I need it.
