Controlling Puppet class execution order with parameters.

[Harish Kothuri]

Hi,

I have 3 classes and i need to execute class 3 only when class 1 and class 2 completes. All of these classes must be attached to a host.

class1($version='1.1.1'){

   .

   .

   .

}

class2($version='2.2.2'){

   .

   .

   .

}

and 

class3(){

    import class1

    import class2

   

    exec{ 'something':

          cmd => 'some command here',

          before => [Class['class1'], Class['class2']]

    }

}

When i try to apply the above relation, i get the following error

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate declaration: Class[class1] is already declared; cannot re declare on node machine.domain.com

Can any one guide me how to handle this scenario?

Thanks

Hi Harish,

import is deprecated in Puppet 4!

You can use require:

class 3 {
require class1
require class2
…
}

Best,
Martin

You need to use 'require' instead of 'import'.

I'm using Puppet 3.8.7 and "require" didn't work.

I could make it work with following

class1($version='1.1.1'){

   include Class3

   .

   .

   .before => [Class["Class3"]]

}

class2($version='2.2.2'){

   include Class3

   .

   .   .before => [Class["Class3"]]

}

and 

class3()

{

Hi,

https://puppet.com/blog/class-containment-puppet

I'd say

1.- one module for you stuuf (moduleA)
2.- one file per class

3.-) one class that "contain" the others and set order.

moduleA/class1.pp
class moduleA::class1 { }

moduleA/class2.pp
class moduleA::class2 { }

moduleaA/class3.pp

class moduleA::class3 { }

moduleA/init.pp

contain moduelA::class1

contain moduelA::class2

contain moduelA::class3

Class['moduelA::class1'] ->

Class['moduelA::class2'] ->

Class['moduelA::class3'] 

HTH,

Arnau
