Puppet making one include depend on another within a class

I'm trying to get boxen set up and want to do something like this:

class mycompany::environment {

  include iterm2::stable

  include iterm2::colors::solarized_dark
}

And in my manifests/site.pp, I include mycompany::environment.

But iterm2::colors::solarized_dark is just configuration, and if it gets applied before iterm2 is actually installed, we get an error. How can I make that statement depend on the previous one (include iterm2::stable)?

I've looked at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_relationships.html but I didn't understand all of it. Sorry, beginner to puppet here!

Solution 
  • Class["iterm2::stable"] -> Class["iterm2::colors::solarized_dark"]

    This is one way to do it.
