Jira (PUP-2451) Autorequire can create circular dependencies when ensure => absent

[Chris Pitman (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Chris Pitman commented on an issue   Re: Autorequire can create circular dependencies when ensure => absent I've run into this while creating a custom type that has a file system like hierarchy. It currently autorequires any ancestor resources, regardless of whether it is ensured present or absent. Is there a way to reverse these relationships if the resource should be absent? Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2451 Autorequire can create circular dependencies when ensure => absent The `registry_key` auto-require functionality doesn't appear to work with `->` style relationships when `ensure => absent`. This results in a circular dependency: <pre>     Registry_key { ensure => absent }     registry_key { '#{keypath}\\SubKey1': }     -> registry_key { '#{keypath}\\SubKeyToPurge': }     -> registry_key { '#{keypath}': } </pre...
