Hi,
facter variables typically have values in lower case. We are looking
into moving to puppet for our config administration and are currently
using a system where we do file name matching dependent on specific
suffixes - for example a file named "*--LAPTOP" will only be deployed
on machines tagged as laptops.
I would like to keep this naming convention and observed that facter
has a "type" variable that on laptops will contain the value
"laptop"
- but of course i want it in upper case for, in my opinion, better
clarity. Is there some smart way of doing this?
I guess i could do something like
if $type == "laptop" {
$type = "LAPTOP"
}
but im looking to see if there is any other smarter ways of doing
this.
Thanks,
//Adam Winberg

you can use inline_template to sanitize your values.. e.g.:
$my_type = inline_template("<%= type.upcase %>

ok, interesting!
however i cant make it work:
$my_type = inline_template("<%= type.upcase %>")
notify { "type is set to $my_type":; }
and log output on client:
puppetd[13739]: type is set to Notebook
i was expecting to see "NOTEBOOK" there, but no luck. I''m new
to puppet and
my ruby is rubbish, am i doing something wrong?

you are right, it seems that type is a reserved word in ruby :( using another variable name should work.

way to make it work:
$my_type = "$type"
$my_type = inline_template("<%= my_type.upcase %>")
notify { "type is set to $my_type":; }
thanks for your help!
