I have a definition where I am trying to include a class...
class db_deploy::base {
$build_user = "build"
}
define db_deploy::elements($db_deploy_version) {
include db_deploy::base
# Use $build_user here
}
When I attempt to access $build_user in the db_deploy::elements
definition, puppet thinks it has no value. What am I doing wrong?
Doug.

What am I doing wrong?the definition of the variable is only in the scope of the class. However you can address it by direct name: $ cat foo.pp class a { $b = ''helo world'' } define c(){ include a notice("$a::b") } c{''d'': } $ puppet foo.pp notice: Scope(C[d]): helo world but you have to include the class, otherwise the class isn''t evaluated hence you can''t refer to its variables. cheers pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksbjY4ACgkQbwltcAfKi3/5dQCfZO3yputBjgzFSX23v62qYt7a TpkAnjjlHdwKtrdZRJABNKYOJPFMs4Y1 =SpBF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I''ve also tried $db_deploy::base::build_user and got the same result. Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
