in-conditional with virtualized resource

[Race Boyer]

Hello everyone,

I am trying virtualize my users and that works out just fine, but the problem is I have some aix users that need a particular group. So I thought it would be a good idea to add a conditional to the virtual resource, but I get stuck with this error:

err: Failed to apply catalog: Could not find dependency Group[9231] for User[race] at /etc/puppet/environments/development/modules/admin2/manifests/virtual.pp:17

what I think is happening is that for some reason my group is not being realized (if that's the proper term?) so the manifest is failing. here is the virtual manifest:

# define type for creating virtual user accounts
define admin2::virtual ($uid,$gid,$realname,$pass,$sshkey="") {

 
user { $title:
  ensure     => 'present',
  uid        => $uid,
  gid        => $gid,
  shell      => '/bin/bash',
  home       => "/home/${title}",
  comment    => $realname,
  password   => $pass,
  managehome => true,
  require    => Group[$gid],
}

group { $title:
  gid => $uid,
}

file { "/home/${title}":
  ensure  => directory,
  owner   => $title,
  group   => $gid,
  mode    => '0750',
  require => [ User[$title], Group[$gid] ],
}

if ( $sshkey != "" ) {
 ssh_authorized_key { $title:
  ensure => 'present',
  type => "ssh-rsa",
  key => "$sshkey",
  user => "$title",
  require => User ["$title"],
  name => "$title"
}
}
}

and here is the init.pp
class admin2 {

$gid = $::operatingsystem ? {
   'AIX'      => '1100',
   default    => $gid,
   }


@admin2::virtual { 'race':
  uid      => '9231',
  gid      => '9231',
  realname => 'Race Boyer',
  pass     => 'pass',
  sshkey => 'sshkey'
}

@admin2::virtual { 'dss':
  uid      => '506',
  gid      => '506',
  realname => 'The DSS team',
  pass     => 'pass',
}

}

i started with the virtual lesson from Craig Dunn's blog if anyone can tell me what I did wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

The group resource name is not gid but title, so change the requiere parameter to Group[$title]

If you change "gid => $gid" to "gid => $title" then you don't need any of the require meta parameters in your user, group or file resource declarations, they can be removed.

There is implied dependency between the gid of a user and the title of a group, and between owners/groups of files and their respective user/group resources.
