version parameter does not work

[mattboston]

When using version in the class definition is ignored and the version defined in the config.pp is the one used.

class { 'rabbitmq':
version => "3.2.2-1",
config_cluster => true,
cluster_nodes => [ "${rabbitmq_node1}", "${rabbitmq_node2}" ],
cluster_node_type => 'disc',
erlang_cookie => "${erlang_cookie}",
wipe_db_on_cookie_change => true,
}

hi version is a little bit misleading, i guess its unused currently.

to install an fixed version use:

 class { '::rabbitmq':
    delete_guest_user   => true,
    package_ensure      => hiera('rabbit::version'),
...

We've been hit by this. This workaround doesn't work in RHEL/CentOS.

Any plan to fix this?

It is misleading, and I've actually taken it out in #493 (the module now just gets the version from status commands, though this could potentially cause some chicken / egg problems). I'm going to mark this as closed, I did try to add some docs mentioning the bit about using $package_ensure instead.
