Could not find resource, but it's there.

[chris smith]

Hi,

This seems like a pretty simple thing but I can't figure out why this is throwing a warning.

I'm using puppet 4.8.1 installed from the puppetlabs-pc1 on scientific linux 6.

# puppet -V
4.8.1
# rpm -q puppet-agent
puppet-agent-1.8.2-1.el6.x86_64


My file is as simple as I can make it:

    file {'/test':
        ensure => directory,
        alias => 'abc',
    }

    file {'/test/2':
        ensure => directory,
        require => File['abc'],
    }


When I run it, it complains:

# puppet apply test.pp
Warning: Could not find resource 'File[abc]' in parameter 'require'
   (at /root/test.pp:8)
Notice: Compiled catalog for sl-x86-64.local in environment production in 0.10 seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/test]/ensure: created
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/test/2]/ensure: created
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.04 seconds

Though it seems to apply the resources in the correct order (I haven't had it fail trying to create /test/2 before /test).

Any info or ideas would be great.

Cheers,
Chris.

The reason it works is because the default ordering is "manifest order"
and your manifest has the resources in the correct order.

The reference File['abc'] does not succeed because 'abc' is an alias,
and not the title - I believe there is a ticket about that already logged.

Wouldnt it work anyways (if manifest order or not) because the file typeauto-reqires its parents?

The auto-require would succeed, but the additional require could still fail to find the resource, which fails catalog compilation entirely.

Hi,

 

Because you don’t use the right name…

 

    file {'/test':
        ensure => directory,
        alias => 'abc',
    }

    file {'/test/2':
        ensure => directory,

        require => File['/test'],
    }

Regards,

I was using the alias name, which should also work.

The bug report explains things.

Cheers,
