[Puppet Users] Can''t use ${path} in file resource as its namevar?

2.7.3

The heck?  ${path} is expanding to the shell environment PATH when I 
reference it as a variable
in my file resource.  Isn''t this supposed to be the "namevar"
for file
resources?

            }
        }
    }
}

No, you don''t have access to resource namevar unless it''s
within the
defined resource.

FWIW: It doesnt reference the environment variable directly. It references the
fact "path" which in turn is the path environment variable.

Just run »facter path« on the command line and you should get similar
results.

>Hi Nan,

Thanks for the reply (you too Stefan).

My reference to the resource''s namevar *is within the defined
resource*.

            file { [ ''/etc/openldap/ldap.conf'',
''/etc/ldap.conf'' ]:
                source => "${ldapclient::params::fileroot}${path}",
                owner => "$ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user",
                mode => 0444,
                require => Class[''ldapclient::install''],
            }

From what I''ve read of all the Puppet documentation I have (the latest
2 books (1 unreleased yet) + the Puppetlabs docs), the above should
work without having to "define" a custom resource as you show below.
Where am I wrong in my reading/thinking?  I must be missing something
somewhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file

...
The namevar is the parameter used to uniquely identify a type instance. This 
is the parameter that gets assigned when a string is provided before the 
colon in a type declaration. In general, only developers will need to worry 
about which parameter is the namevar.
...
FILE
...
path
    namevar
The path to the file to manage. Must be fully qualified.
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#arrays

...
Example shown:

file { [ ''foo'', ''bar'',
''foobar'' ]:
    owner => ''root'',
    group => ''root'',
    mode => ''0600'',
}

You misunderstood the concept of a namevar. The namevar of the
file resource is `path`, for the exec resource it is `command`, for a
service resource it is `name` and so on.

Here is an example where I set the namevar.

  file { ''sshconfig'':
    path   => ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'',
    ensure => file,
    mode   => ''0600'',
  }

So I set the namevar (path) explicitly.  Note that `namevar` is more
from the viewpoint of a resource type developer.  In a manifest it is
just a parameter of a resource.

If you do not specify the namevar explicitly, it is the text before the
first colon, so in other words the title of the resource.

So when I write

  file { ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'':
    ensure => file,
    mode   => ''0600'',
  }

I did not specify the path of the file directly. I just set the title
and so path is implicitly /etc/ssh/sshd_config in the example.

However you cannot access the path parameter as a variable in your
manifest. It just happened that there is a fact that is named `path` so
whenever you use $path you will just query that fact.

Re: [Puppet Users] Can''t use ${path} in file resource as its namevar?

Ahhh.  I see: (thinking out loud for my own clarity) I''m trying to
reference
it as a variable available to me, but it exists as a variable a layer below 
my view.  I can only specify the value it should be set to, but not make 
reference to it explicitly as ${path} (or ${command} or...).  To do what I 
want, I need to do what Nan showed with a custom resource definition to call 
which will then let me reference the passed in value as a variable.

Your code looks buggy:
1) you cannot use ''if'' statements inside resource defnitions
2) you write "notify = true" where you want "notify =>
true"

There are a couple of ways to address the former problem, among them
replacing the ''if'' block with a selector.  Also, I consider it
a
matter of good form to use quotes around strings and to bracket
variable references, so I''d write the definition like this:

define ldapclient::conf ($mode, $notify = false) {
    file { "${name}":
        source => "${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/${name}",
        owner => "${ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user}",
        mode => "${mode}",
        notify => $notify ? { true =>
Class[''ldapclient::service''],
default => undef },
        require => Class[''ldapclient::install''],
    }
}

I think you are missing double quotes around:

Re: [Puppet Users] Can''t use ${path} in file resource as its namevar?

Indeed.

Trashing the entire defined resource idea 30 mins ago, and
simply trying:

class ldapclient::config { 
    case $sys_sshortai { 
        ''RH6'': { 
            file { ''/etc/openldap/ldap.conf'': 
                mode => ''444'', 
                source =>
"${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/${name}",
                owner  => $ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user, 
                require => Class[''ldapclient::install''], 
            } 
            file { ''/etc/nslcd.conf'': 
                mode => ''444'', 
                source =>
"${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/${name}",
                owner  => $ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user, 
                require => Class[''ldapclient::install''], 
                notify => Class[''ldapclient::service''], 
            } 
        } 
    } 
} 

is giving me:

Re: [Puppet Users] Can''t use ${path} in file resource as its namevar?

The errors are good at locating the source of your issues:
err: /Stage[main]/Ldapclient::Config/File[/etc/nslcd.conf]: Could not evaluate:
Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s)
puppet:///modules/ldapclient/files/RH6/ldapclient::config at
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/ldapclient/manifests/config.pp:30


Line 30 of your config.pp is where your problem lies (one of them anyway). It
can''t find the source file.

          file { ''/etc/nslcd.conf'': 
              mode => ''444'', 
              source => "${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/${name}", 
              owner  => $ldapclient::params::ldapclient_user, 
              require => Class[''ldapclient::install''], 
              notify => Class[''ldapclient::service''],
          } 

So it is interpreting this:
"${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/${name}", 

As:
puppet:///modules/ldapclient/files/RH6/ldapclient::config 

The following will give detail about fileserving, but $name is probably not
resolving to what you think it should:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/file_serving.html

How are you declaring this in your manliest.  What do you think $name should be?
Try putting in the source path without the variable substitution.

In the link Den provided, you''ll want to check the puppet:/// syntax. 
You
don''t want to include the ''files'' directory in the
puppet:/// reference.
 You''ll want to use puppet:///modules/ldapclient/RH6/config_file for a
file
located in  $modulepath/ldapclient/files/RH6/config_file.  By default,
using puppet:///, it looks to the files directory, so you don''t need to
pass it.

Re: [Puppet Users] Can''t use ${path} in file resource as its namevar?

Den and Gary, thanks for the replies.

I am trying to re-use the title (as I understand it). Can I not do that?
Do I have to type the name of the file as the title and also at the
end of my source => "${ldapclient::params::fileroot}/.......", ?

Gary, I''ve removed ''/files'' as part of
${ldapclient::params::fileroot}

Setting the source to the explicit filename (typing it again) works,
but seems silly to me.

You''re back to square one. $name is nothing sensible in this context.
It''s the name of the class this appears inside of -
''ldapclient::config''.

For automatic URL composition by use of the file path, you definitely do
want to wrap the file resource in a defined type like you were trying
earlier!

HTH,
Felix

I was just trying stuff out while waiting to see what fleshed out here in
the group.

which refers to the file resource "title".  That''s what I
wanted to know
(assuming I understand everyone correctly).
