instructions to use file{'/etc/rvmrc'} fail as duplicate

[mczepiel]

There's already a File['/etc/rvmrc'] defined in Class['rvm::rvmrc'] such that the instructions in the readme do not work as it would be editing the same file. Is the intention to use class { 'rvm::rvmrc': … } ?

FWIW I ran into this when trying to set the rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 to ignore my path being configured with a relative binpath ahead of rvm in the $PATH

just define File['/etc/rvmrc'] before the rvm class

Sorry new to puppet so I'm sure I've missed something:

Puppet:

file {"/etc/rvmrc":
  content => "rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1";
}
->
class { 'rvm': version => '1.25.28' }

And the error that results:

Error: Duplicate declaration: File[/etc/rvmrc] is already declared in file /tmp/vagrant-puppet-2/manifests/app.pp:39; cannot redeclare at /tmp/vagrant-puppet-2/modules-0/rvm/manifests/rvmrc.pp:17 on node …

Whereas if I add the flag as an option to the Class['rvm::rvmrc'] and use it:

class{'rvm::rvmrc':
  silence_path_mismatch_check_flag => 1;
}

(Added to rvmrc.pp)

$silence_path_mismatch_check_flag = undef

I guess my question is, why prefer the file usage when there's a dedicated class for rvm::rvmrc?
Also, am I doing the ordering wrong such that your suggestion should work?

[carlossg]

sorry, my bad, the file is defined in rvm::rvmrc. Either the module is changed to add the flag or you pass a different template to your class{'rvm::rvmrc':} definition

I'm closing this one out as the readme no longer instructs you to do something that won't work.
