Dependency cycle error Plugin -> Config -> User -> Plugin

[phaedriel]

In init.pp

Elasticsearch::Plugin <| ensure == 'absent' |>
-> Class['elasticsearch::config']

Class['elasticsearch::config']
-> Elasticsearch::User <| ensure == 'present' |>

Elasticsearch::User <| |>
-> Elasticsearch::Plugin <| ensure == 'absent' |>

I have a cycle : Plugin -> Config -> User -> Plugin

[h-haaks]

I don't see why Elasticsearch::Plugin <| ensure == 'absent' |> should be forced before Class['elasticsearch::config']

All of this might come from the fact that Elasticsearch::Plugin resources are realized even if elasticsearch::ensure is absent.
Elasticsearch::Plugin needs the config to run the plugin command.

And whats the connection between Elasticsearch::User and Elasticsearch::Plugin? why order them at all?

I'm afraid someone will have to dig deep to understand all these dependencies that are applied in init.pp ...
