Puppet users - Feb 2009 - variables that are available inside a template

Hi,

I''m looking to find a way to get the target filename inside a template.
(e.g. if I have
file {"/tmp/foo": content => template("foo")} I want to
have a variable
represent "/tmp/foo" inside the template.

I''ve already tried using file, scope etc, but looking at the code, it
doesn''t seems that i can access the filename inside the template
(unless
using a define and than using $name).

Anyone has a better idea?

Thanks,
Ohad

could you define the filename as a variable first, somewhere within the
class
eg
$filename = "/tmp/foo";

and pick it up in the template
< %= filename %>

I''ve not tried it myself but that might work

Thanks, I know that, but I was hoping to avoid it.. as I want to pass an
array of files to the same template.

is there a scope variable which define the current resource? maybe something
like scope.name?

I think what you''re looking for is scope.resource.
But I''m not sure you have access to this inside a template.
But I understand your need, so that might be an interesting feature
request (ie access to the current resource parameters inside a
template).
Open a redmine feature request and it''ll be discussed :-)
