relationships, ordering, and defined types

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Greetings!

I'm running puppet 5.5 on Debian Buster.

This exists:

define bar::baz() {

    file { "/tmp/$name": }

}

...somewhere else...

bar::baz { 'qux': }

file { '/tmp/foo':

    before => Bar::baz['qux'],

}

But when the catalog gets compiled I get an error:

Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Illegal class reference

Is it possible to use a defined type with a "before" (or any other relationship metaparameter) ?

Thanks!

Caps all segments in a defined type name:

before => Bar::Baz['qux'],
