You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target about puppet-fail2ban HOT 3 OPEN

these parameters are more or less directly passed to the file type, and that's where the restrictions are

what behaviour would you expect of you specify content and source?
how should it be merged?

from puppet-fail2ban.

Sorry, my bad, I didn't paste the whole code:

  class { 'fail2ban':
    package_ensure => 'latest',
    config_file_source => "puppet:///modules/base_sys/jail.local",
  }

This is everything to trigger the error. In the end I tracked down this is the cause: manifests/init.pp:51

$config_file_content = extlib::default_content($config_file_string, $config_file_template)

for some reason this returns something that's not undef, and the only workaround i found for now was either:

  if $config_file_string and $config_file_template {
    $config_file_content = extlib::default_content($config_file_string, $config_file_template)
  }

or better yet, just copy the config file without relying on the module, with file

same here
fail2ban::config_file_source: "puppet:///modules/fail2ban/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf"
