Hi,
I''m adapting our modules to version 2.7.3.
Currently I ''ve this example in a iptables module
class iptables_script
{
file {
$iptables_init:
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "0700",
.................................
}
class iptables_files
{
file {
$firewall_top:
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "0700",
require => Package["$iptables_init"],
}
}
It possible to use a fully qualifed variable inside a metaparameter?
class iptables_script
{
file {
$iptables_init:
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "0700",
.................................
}
class iptables_files
{
file {
$firewall_top:
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => "0700",
require =>
Package["$iptables::iptables_script::iptables_init"],
}
}
Currently it''s not working, I receive an "undef"
Can you help me¿?

Generally, if you want to refer to a class variable that is outside the current *lexical* scope then you should ''include'' its class somewhere in the lexical scope. This works only with unparameterized classes, of course. Supposing that iptables_script declared the wanted variable, you might do something like this: class iptables_files { include "iptables::iptables_script" file { $firewall_top: owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0700", require => File["$iptables::iptables_script::iptables_init"], } } John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
