Do not download if wget::fetch { redownload => false } about puppet-wget HOT 3 CLOSED

should be working now using the parameter source_hash

from puppet-wget.

if i take the topic of this issue source_hash doesn't fix the problem. for using source_hash i have to know the md5 hash (which means i have to get it manually one time).
in my case i want to download the blocklist https://lists.blocklist.de/lists/all.txt one time if it does not exist. after that i would update it via cron. the first call to wget only ensures that the file is there and the blocklist is not empty.
this means compared to exec that a creates parameter would be awesome see https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/type.html#exec-attribute-creates

from puppet-wget.

found a solution, just commenting here if someone else stumble upon this issue, unless is the magic key.

wget::fetch { $url:
  destination => $file,
  unless      => "test -f ${file}"
}
