Service started before config applied

[StuartMcManus]

Description of problem

• What did you do? Within a base image we have the sensu-client installed with config but without a windows service created
• What happened? When puppet runs on a host built off of that base image the sensuclassic module uses the DSC resource to create the service and start it during the the puppet run before the config gets put down within that same puppet run.
• What did you expect to happen? Config changes to happen before any service creations and starts
• How can someone reproduce the problem? They can install Sensu, remove the service then run puppet

Command used and debugging output

• What does your puppet config look like (including any hiera config)
• Is this a masterless or master based puppet setup? Master based setup

Platform and version information

• Your OS: Redhat 7.8 (Maipo)
• Your Ruby version: ruby 2.0.0.648-36.el7.x86_64
• Your version of Puppet: 5.5.20 open source

Anything else to add that you think will be helpful?

@StuartMcManus Can you provide logs of all changes made by Puppet on a failed Puppet run? You can limit them to just changes from sensuclassic module. The dsc_service['sensu-client'] resource is supposed to just install the service and the service['sensu-client'] resource is supposed to actually start the service. I am curious if in your case the dsc_service resource is actually starting the service.

Hello @treydock sorry I should have provided this straight off but it is definitely dsc that is starting the service. I have attached a refined log of just sensuclassic changes and below is the DSC JSON that gets created for starting the service along with a Windows eventlog screenshot for the service starting.

DSC module version: 1.9.3
