[[!meta title="Puppet: Duplicate definition - on the same line!"]]
|

I'm having a lot of fun with software,
|
||
|
|
[[again|blog/puppet-sometimes-loads-a-class]] with
|
||
|
|
[puppet](http://reductivelabs.com/products/puppet):
|
||
|
|
Puppet claims in its error message, that I define a resource twice:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed
|
||
|
|
with error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition:
|
||
|
|
File[nss_ldap_config] is already defined in file
|
||
|
|
/etc/puppet/modules/auth/manifests/init.pp at line 62;
|
||
|
|
cannot redefine at
|
||
|
|
/etc/puppet/modules/auth/manifests/init.pp:62
|
||
|
|
on node dryad16.ethz.ch
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well, nice error, isn't it? Maybe you already guessed it, line 62 is the end
|
||
|
|
of a define:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
54 define ldap_config() {
|
||
|
|
55 $ou = $name
|
||
|
|
56 file { "nss_ldap_config":
|
||
|
|
57 path => $auth::nss_ldap_config,
|
||
|
|
58 mode => 644,
|
||
|
|
59 owner => root,
|
||
|
|
60 group => root,
|
||
|
|
61 content => template("auth/ldap.erb"),
|
||
|
|
62 }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I would be pretty happy if puppet told me:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are using the define ldap_config() from file_x:line_x twice:
|
||
|
|
File file_a:line_a and File file_b:line_b use it, which defines
|
||
|
|
a duplicate definition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently I've to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
grep -r ldap_config *
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
within my puppet config directory, to find the locations where the define
|
||
|
|
is called. Because it's not called twice within the same class, I've
|
||
|
|
to search manually through the classes that include the classes that use
|
||
|
|
the define to find out where an include is used that (probably indirectly)
|
||
|
|
includes a conflicting class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear puppet developers, would you mind to include debug help as stated above?
