Puppet file resource require archive resource

Question

I am using Puppet for doing my Vagrant provisioning. I used the archive module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/archive/types to download and extract glassfish like this:

archive { '/tmp/glassfish-4.1.1.zip':
  ensure        => present,
  extract       => true,
  extract_path  => '/opt/',
  source        => 'http://download.java.net/glassfish/4.1.1/release/glassfish-4.1.1.zip',
  cleanup       => true,
  creates       => '/opt/glassfish4',
}

After that resource is applied, I want to move a file into the newly created glassfish directory like this

file { 'domain.xml':
  ensure  => file,
  path    => '/opt/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml',
  source  => 'puppet:///modules/glassfish/domain.xml',
}

I want to require in the file move resource that the extraction was already done, since the extraction is not creating a file, but rather a directory. Something like

require => FILE['..']

is not working.

Answer 1

You should add a require on the archive task so your file task will be something like

  file { 'domain.xml':
    ensure  => file,
    path    => '/opt/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml',
    source  => 'puppet:///modules/glassfish/domain.xml',
    require => Archive['/tmp/glassfish-4.1.1.zip'],
  }

so that the copy of the domain.xml file will be done after the archive task.
