What is the execution order in a manifest file

[Malintha Adikari]

Hi,

In my manifest file there are 3 elements ( 2 defined types and one exec)

define fill_templates($location) {
    file { "$location/$name/":
        ensure  => present,
        owner   => 'root',
        group   => 'root',
        mode    => '0777',
        content => template("config/${name}.erb"),
}

}

fill_templates { $filelist: location=>$agentLocation}

exec { "unzip_pack":
command => "unzip ${product_pack}",
cwd => $agentLocation,
path      => $command_path,
logoutput => true,
timeout => 3600,
require => File["${agentLocation}/${product_pack}"],
}



$foo = [{"addr" => $source, "port" => $destination},                                    
          {"addr" => "bat", "port" => "2"}]  
                                 
  testmod::bar {$foo:}  
                                                      
  define testmod::bar () {                                                     
    $var1 = $name["addr"]                                                      
    $var2 = $name["port"]                                                      
    notify {"**********************${var1}_${var2}***********************************": }    

When I execute this manifest what is the order of the above 3 elements execution. I have noticed the they are executed in mixed order. How can I  define the order of execution in this kind of scenario ?

You should use the 'require' metaparameter, or if you absolutely need to, explicit ordering. docs.puppetlabs.com will give you further information.

You should also read the Style Guide, and not throw all of that in one manifest.

No, they're not.  Declarations in any manifest are processed to-to-bottom, left-to-right.

BUT the end result of processing those declarations is a catalog of all the resources to be managed on the target node.  When that catalog is applied, either by "puppet agent" or "puppet apply", resources are not necessarily applied in the order in which they were added to the catalog.

How can I  define the order of execution in this kind of scenario ?

 Influencing the order in which resources are applied is the role of resource relationships.
