I''m having trouble getting puppet to work when using a conditional to
check whether or not a subclass is defined.
Here is what I''ve tried to do
if ! defined (Class[server::cobbler]) {
# do something
}
With the above statement I get this error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at ''server::cobbler''; expected
'']'' at ...
So I tried quoting the class:
if ! defined (Class["server::cobbler"]) {
# do something
}
This doesn''t error out, but it doesn''t do what I''m
asking which is to
only run the section of code when the subclass server::cobbler is not
defined.
Any ideas?

I believe there is a bug, but I can''t find it to reference it now.
Try this:
if ! defined("server::cobler") {
# do something
}

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Using defined(Class[]) on a subclass
This doesn''t work. It appears that puppet is looking to see if the value is defined anywhere at all in the manifest when called this way. Since I have defined a class "server::cobbler" it skips over the code even though the node I''m running it on doesn''t have the class defined for it.
