Hello!
I'm running `apply --noop` regularly. I would really like to also
do it on a fresh machine before changing bits on the disk.
Unfortunately this fails for Service types because their init
scripts don't yet exist. For example, take ntp:
package { "ntp":
ensure => present,
} ->
service { "ntp":
ensure => running,
}
If I run `sudo puppet apply --noop foo.pp` I get:
Debug: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[ntp]/require: requires
Package[ntp]
Info: Applying configuration version '1396455554'
Debug: Prefetching apt resources for package
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat
'${Status} ${Package} ${Version}\n''
Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat
'${Status} ${Package} ${Version}\n' ntp'
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[ntp]/ensure: current_value
purged, should be present (noop)
Debug: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[ntp]: The container
Class[Main] will propagate my refresh event
Debug: Service[ntp](provider=upstart): Could not find ntp.conf

Debug: Service[ntp](provider=upstart): Could not find ntp in

Debug: Service[ntp](provider=upstart): Could not find ntp.sh

Debug: Service[ntp](provider=upstart): Could not find ntp.sh
in /etc/init.d
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[ntp]: Could not evaluate:
Could not find init script or upstart conf file for 'ntp'
I get why this fails. Package["ntp"] hasn't written anything to
disk during the dry run, so Service["ntp"] can't find the right
pieces that it would have needed. I was hoping the
`Package["ntp"] -> Service["ntp"]` relationship would have
accounted for this.
This thread from years ago touches on this but quickly gets into a
semantic discussion about include/require:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/puppet-users/vTDoxY3OdNI/HOWeN_ZhDJ8J.
I'm mostly curious if I'm cutting across the grain here. I'm
relatively new to Puppet. Is --noop not universally useful for
dry runs? If it is, how can I work around this issue?
Thanks!
Drew
