Hi,
I'm not 100% sure it's a bug, just 99%. What do you think ?
If I do something like
$group_hosts.each | String $host | {
@@file { "file for ${host}":
ensure => present,
path => '/etc/something.conf',
tag => "File for ${host}",
etc.
}
}
I got a error
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Cannot alias File[file for host1] to ["/etc/something.conf"] at (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72); resource ["File", "/etc/something.conf"] already declared (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72) (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72, column: 5) on node XYZ
I don't see why I cannot export the same file name (with different
ressource name) to different hosts.

Agree. But the title is "file for ${host}" so the combination are unique (I
don't have two same values in $group_host, in fact the value inside this
array come from the key of hash table).

$group_hosts.each | String $host | {
@@file { "file for ${host}":
ensure => present,
path => '/etc/something.conf',
tag => "File for ${host}",
etc.
}
}
In this situation the namevar or the ressource change at each host. So
tag => "File for ${host}",
etc.
}
}
for me the both condition are validate. But I still got the same error
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Cannot alias File[file for host1] to ["/etc/something.conf"] at (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72); resource ["File", "/etc/something.conf"] already declared (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72) (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/x/modules/thing/manifests/thing.pp, line: 72, column: 5) on node XYZ

You create multiple resources here (one for each host), which ALL try

to manage the SAME file ("/etc/something.conf"). But one file can only
be managed by one resource. That needs to be something like
"/etc/something_${host}.conf"

Yes...I know that but I'm also using “@@” who export the file to «others
host». So even I can understand why it's not working I think that would be
nice if it does.
Be re-reading the doc of file ressource I understand that
$namevar = $path
but IMHO it should be
if $name is underf
$namevar = $path
else
$namevar = $name
I find another solution but it need a little more configuration from the
user of the module.

So, assuming that you were to export this resource on 2 different hosts. How could you collect it <<| |>>, as there could only be one /etc/something.conf on that collecting host. That's why the exported resource path needs to be unique, can't just name it something unique if the resulting file would be in conflict.

Well...I'm not a dev maybe it's way I don't understand.... if I export to
two differents host/tags those files are on two differents hosts. How can
they be in conflict ?
For example, if I have «something» let's say a service/daemon running on
«master-host»
and for each
«slave-host»
I need to put a config file who depend on a token distributed by the
master. For me the most «natural» method would be to exported the «token»
to each slave host from the master.
I don't see how can that be conflict.

That's not the point. Puppet doesn't know your usecase. In general, exported resources are used to distribute data from one set of hosts to another one. Most prominent example being SSH host keys, which are usually exported by all your hosts and then imported
by all others.
So it is generally possible that an exported file resource is being
- exported by multiple hosts
- used by multiple (other) hosts
Thus, Puppet needs to take some precautions to avoid possible conflicts. That being said, I don't think that "file" resources are a good fit for exporting at all.
