Windows client value set to false throws puppet run error

[StuartMcManus]

Description of problem

• What did you do? We installed Sensu-Client successfully using puppet and then we set the client var to false to disable the service.
• What happened? Puppet threw and error about Exec[install-sensu-client-service].
• What did you expect to happen? The service to be stopped and disabled.
• How can someone reproduce the problem? Install Sensu-Client using puppet then set the value for client to false i.e. sensu::client: false or sensuclassic::client: false to set the service into a stopped and disabled state.

Command used and debugging output

• What does your puppet config look like (including any hiera config) - I have attached example class we are using to install the Sensu-Client which also shows hiera to set the client value.

I have tested a possible fix which runs puppet successfully see diff attached as it doesn't display correctly for client.pp:

• Is this a masterless or master based puppet setup? Master based

@StuartMcManus Try #37. Your diff would not work because if windows_service_user is not defined the two resources throwing errors would not be defined thus would be similar error to what you saw.

[StuartMcManus]

@treydock yes sorry I thought for a second that else statement was within the if $sensuclassic::windows_service_user statement block but obviously it can not without another if statement within. I will try out your change tomorrow cheers.

@treydock I have been able to carry out testing with the changes with no issues being seen. The testing was with our current setup which means we were supplying credentials for the service so no testing has been done not supplying credentials as we don't do that but that part hasn't really changed so should be fine I guess.
