Hi,
In a file resource I want to be able to specify multiple template contents.
If the 1st template doesn''t exist use the 2nd listed and so on. Much
like
how the source attribute works.
Basically this:
file { "/tmp/somefile.txt":
ensure => present,
content => [
template("somefile-$fqdn.erb"),
template("somefile.erb"),
]
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
}
Which doesn''t work. Is there a way to do this in puppet?
Thanks,
Sam

Here''s what I''ve been doing, fwiw:
file { ''nsswitch.conf'':
path => ''/etc/nsswitch.conf'',
content => inline_template(
file(
"/etc/puppet/modules/dist/ldapclient/templates/etc/nsswitch.conf.$hostname.erb",
"/etc/puppet/modules/dist/ldapclient/templates/etc/nsswitch.conf.$deviceid.erb",
"/etc/puppet/modules/dist/ldapclient/templates/etc/nsswitch.conf.$clientid.erb",
"/etc/puppet/modules/dist/ldapclient/templates/etc/nsswitch.conf.erb")),
ensure => file,
owner => root, group => 0, mode => 0644;
}
not sure about the elegance or lack thereof, contained within, but it seems to
work until there''s a "better way"(™) to do it

Unfortunately the template and file functions treat multiple values differently.
File uses them for fallbacks, Template concats the .erb files together.
This is something we''d quite like to fix, and the solution is probably

works is somewhat problematic for backwards compatibility. Perhaps an
''erb'' function that behaves like ''template''
is a better solution...
