Puppet users - Mar 2011 - Integer comparison in Puppet Templates

Hello;

Is it possible to include integer comparison in Puppet templates?  An
example

node ''testy'' {
$foo = 5
if ( $foo > 4 ) {
       include users::four
}
include files::motd
}


class files::motd {
file { "/etc/motd":
        content => template("files/motd.conf.erb")
}

Template mord.conf.erb

<%if foo > 4 %> Have a foursy day <% end%>

In this eaxmple the users::four is included in the node.  When it goes
to the motd.conf.erb file though it complains that I am trying to
compare a string to an integer.

Any way around this?

Puppet internally presents that as a string.

If you change it to:

<%if foo.to_i > 4 %> Have a foursy day <% end%>

That should work for you.
