Hello,
I''m trying to do almost exactly what the cookbook at
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions is
doing, namely, adding a custom hash function to determine what time
cron should run.
However, I can''t get puppet to find my function. I''ve got it
symlinked all over:
[root@nagios1 functions]# puppetmasterd --configprint libdir
/var/lib/puppet/lib
[root@nagios1 functions]# ls /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/parser/
functions/functions.rb
/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/parser/functions/functions.rb
[root@nagios1 functions]# ls /etc/puppet/modules/puppet/plugins/puppet/
parser/functions/functions.rb
/etc/puppet/modules/puppet/plugins/puppet/parser/functions/
functions.rb
The conents of the file are:
require ''digest/sha1''
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:minute_from_address, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(lookupvar(''ipaddress'')).hex.to_i %
60
end
end
And the recipe calling it is:
class puppet {
cron { puppet:
command => "/etc/init.d/puppet once",
user => root,
minute => minute_from_address()
}
}
But all I ever get is:
Aug 4 22:29:19 toolbox puppetd[10730]: Could not retrieve catalog:
Unknown function minute_from_address at /etc/puppet/modules/puppet/
manifests/init.pp:16 on node xyz
Can someone tell me what I''m doing wrong here? According to the link
referenced above, puppet should be picking up functions in these
directories. Even better, is there an accepted way I can tell
puppetmasterd to look for functions in a particular place?

Perhaps this is the same issue, but the workaround does not seem to work. Starting puppetmasterd with --libdir=/var/lib/puppet/lib does not fix the problem.

Actually, I take that back--it would not appear to be the same issue as #2494 at all. I also have the functions file in this directory: /etc/puppet/modules/puppet/plugins/puppet/parser/functions/ That should have been loaded as well, according to http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions , but it was not. I''m starting to worry that I''m missing something terribly simple and obvious.

Is there a solution to this? --- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 On Aug 5, 2009, at 10:52 PM, Ben Lavender wrote:> > Actually, I take that back--it would not appear to be the same issue > as #2494 at all. > > I also have the functions file in this directory: > /etc/puppet/modules/puppet/plugins/puppet/parser/functions/ > > That should have been loaded as well, according to > http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions , > but it was not.

Just so that it gets onto the mailing list for the next poor guy searching for this: Functions need to be in a file of the same name, it would appear. I can find nothing in the wiki that mentions this specifically, but perhaps I did not look hard enough. I renamed my file from functions.rb to minute_from_address.rb and it worked immediately. The location of the file, /etc/puppet/modules/ puppet/plugins/puppet/parser/functions/ , was evidently fine the whole time.
