I have pre, main, and post stages configured in my manifests. When I assign variables in the node declaration they are present in the main stage, but not my pre-stage. How do I assign variables at the node level that can be referenced in my pre stage? -Chip Schweiss -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

The only thing I suspect is the variable is declared after the class have been declared. A concrete example or pastie of your code would be beneficial to diagnose this further.

The pre classes are definately getting defined before the variable is being
declared in my node definition:
node ''deploy.nrg.mir'' {
$deployment = true
$deploy_environment = "development"
$deploy_hostname = "testhost"
$deploy_fqdn = "testhost.nrg.mir"
$deploy_netadapters = "2"
notify { "node:deploy":
message => "deploy_fqdn: $deploy_fqdn"
}
include baseclass
include deploy
}
In my site.pp:
....lines deleted...
import "templates.pp"
import "nodes/*"
import "classes/*"
import "os/*"
import "common"
stage { [pre, post]: }
Stage[pre] -> Stage[main] -> Stage[post]
class {
"network": stage => pre;
"pre_baseclass": stage => pre;
"postclass": stage=> post;
}
In my network class I want to use deploy_* variables defined in the node.
I not sure how to get puppet to always load the node definition before all
other classes. Almost seems like a bug.

Almost seems like a bug.Well it''s not a bug, your variables are nested in node scope and it''s not available because the class is declared in top scope. You effectively are doing: node sample { $var = ''value'' } class { ''network'': } Declare the class in the node scope and you should have access to $var. node sample { $var = ''value'' class { ''network'': } } Another options is to access the variable with it''s explicit scope $sample::var.
