Describe the Bug

After upgrading to Puppet 8 I noticed a problem with my elasticsearch_license type https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/elasticsearch_license.rb -> https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-elasticsearch/blob/master/lib/puppet_x/elastic/elasticsearch_rest_resource.rb#L25-L27)

Roughly used like this:

class foo (
  $param, # set via Hiera
) {
  elasticsearch_license { 'xpack':
    password => $param.node_encrypt::secret,
    # and some more parameters
  }
}

This works fine with Puppet 7 or with Puppet 8 + preprocess_deferred=true. In with preprocess_deferred=false, the API authentication to elasticsearch fails. In the provider I added a Puppet.debug(password) and I get:

#<Puppet::Pops::Evaluator::DeferredValue:0x00007feadcbc5858>

It feels like the resolution or executed of the deferred function happens too late? But not all resources are broken. A simple file resource works:

class foo (
  $param, # set via Hiera
) {
  file { 'xpack':
    content => $param.node_encrypt::secret,
  }
}

This works, no matter if preprocess_deferred is true or false.

Expected Behavior

Deferred function should be evaluated before the type that uses the return value from the deferred function.

Steps to Reproduce

I don't have an easy to reproduce example at the moment. The Elasticsearch_license type requires a license and a working elasticsearch cluster.

Environment

  • PE 2021.7.8 / PE 2023.7.0

@bastelfreak I think this is a variation of #9174 or #9384. The latter is fixed in 8.8.1. Could you include the stack trace from puppet agent -t --trace?

Also we're working on changing our doc automation so reference pages will be accurate for each puppet stream/branch. See #9312

I'm only once a week at this customer, so the stack trace needs to wait a bit. But I think (not 100% sure) that I tried running with --trace and didn't see an error. Because it doesn't fail, the deferred function "just" isn't executed properly/too late. So the elasticsearch_license type/provider receives an Puppet::Pops::Evaluator::DeferredValue object instead of String.

@bastelfreak maybe this is triggered when setting a resource parameter to an array (multivalued) as discussed in #9438 (comment)?

mhm in my case it's supposed to only return a single string. I will try to debug a bit next time when I'm with the customer.

I'm back! here's the output from --trace. I assume this is only triggered because the http client fails to authenticate with the elastic API, not because of the deferred function itself:

@bastelfreak for the short term, you could add a check to see if the password here

https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-elasticsearch/blob/543c5821bd9fa58f122443efa123e4a90381c63f/lib/puppet/provider/elastic_rest.rb#L158C43-L158C48

responds to resolve like the concat module did in puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat@ab51760

The DeferredValue objects were never intended to leak into provider lifecycle methods, but that's where we are right now.

Hi Josh, thanks for the perfect timing. I'm with the customer again tomorrow, so I hopefully have a chance to test it.

@bastelfreak any updates on this?

I had no chance yet to implement this in the elasticsearch module :(
