Here's one way. It's ugly, but it works.

# I have a set of nested classes and the deepest class looks after a
# file resource. I want all my nodes to be of the parent class type
# except one of them needs a special copy of the same file resource.
# How do I override the file resource for that specific node without
# copying the entire class hierarchy for just that one node? Example:
$default = "/tmp/foo"
define a($filename = "$default") {
b { "b from a": filename => "$filename" }
#...
}
define b($filename = "$default") {
c { "c from b": filename => "$filename" }
#...
}
define c($filename = "$default") {
file { "$filename":
ensure => file,
content => "filename: $filename\n",
}
notice("title = $title, filename = $filename\n")
}
node default {
a { "a from default": }
}
node 'specialnode' {
a { "a from specialnode": filename => "/tmp/baz" }
}
# I want 'specialnode' to have it's own file 'foo' resource which
# differs from the one in class 'c'.

# Thank you!

How do I override the file resource for that specific node without
copying the entire class hierarchy for just that one node? Example:
class { 'a':
include b
...
}
class { 'b':
include c
...
}
class { 'c':
file { 'foo':
ensure => file,
source => 'puppet:///modules/...',
}
}
node default {
include a
}
node 'specialnode' {
include a
# OVERRIDE FILE RESOURCE 'foo' HERE!!
}
I want 'specialnode' to have it's own file 'foo' resource which
differs from the one in class 'c'.
Thank you!
