Hi, can you provide a simple reconstruction case? Is `archive` behaving differently than other type/provider modules in this context?

Interesting, although those feel different. What we'd really need here is a step-by-step how to create an environment that exhibits this specific issue.

What's the exact reproduction? Do you just invoke `rake spec` on current master?

Can you please clarify? Are you saying that this module trips up rspec-puppet running the custom tests in your own codebase? Is this module pulled as a dependency there?

If you can create a clone of your environment and strip it down to the bare essentials that will still demonstrate this issue, that would be very helpful to have.

Yes, it's unfortunate. This is a side-effect of the implementation of the resource type. In order to fix this, we would have to go back to the chalk board and...

Thanks for this report. I can reproduce with current `master`. Turns out this actually **only** works if `creates` is specified. This is due to the way that `creates` is implemented...

Well, from what I read in the source code, making the type behave as described will be Very Hard. I'm not sure it's possible at all. (You need to have...

As far as workarounds go, this one looks alright to me.

Sadly, no. This basically just documents a currently know issue (i.e. unimplemented feature) to resolve all the head-scratching in #86. Any work on this has yet to be started.
