Puppet users - Jun 2012 - File attributes inside template

Hi,

I would like to know if I can use a File attribute inside a template. Is it 
possible?

Example:
A class with:
file { "/ssl/certificate.crt":
        source => "puppet:///modules/apache/certificate.crt",
        owner => root,
        group => apache,
        mode => 440,
        require => Class["apache::install"],
}

file { "/conf/apache/apache-system1.conf":
         ensure => present,
         content => template("apache/apache-system1.conf.erb"),
         require => [Class["apache::install"], 
File["/ssl/certificate.crt"]],
         notify => Class["apache::service::system1"],
}

On my template I want to have a line like this:
SSLCertificateFile /ssl/certificate.crt

using puppet file attribute directly(like this below that does not work 
obviously):
SSLCertificateFile <%= File["/ssl/certificate.cfg"].name %>

Thanks,

Wagner Sartori Junior

No, you can''t query resource attributes like that. 

Instead, you should extract the string into a variable, then use the same 
variable in both places.

$certificate_path = ''/ssl/certificate.cfg''

file {$certificate_path:
  ...
}

(Then, in the template:)
SSLCertificateFile <%= @certificate_path %>
