Bug: Exec resource executes although dependencies have failed

[Dirk Heinrichs]

Hi,

on Puppet 3.7.3 (Windows) I currently see the following strange behaviour:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Myclass/Exec[myexec]: Dependency Exec[myotherexec] has failures: true
Warning: /Stage[main]/Myclass/Exec[myexec]: Skipping because of failed dependencies
Debug: Exec[myexec](provider=windows): Executing 'cmd /C somecommand.exe'
Debug: Executing 'cmd /C somecommand.exe'

So it says "Skipping because of failed dependencies", but then executes it anyway.

Bye...

    Dirk

Hi,

you are most likely looking at this timeless classic:

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1106

Rejoyce, a fix is finally available. (It won't be released before Puppet
4, though.)

Best,
Felix
