Puppet users - Oct 2012 - Exec resource and environment parameter

I''m trying to use the environment parameter on Exec but it is not
working.
Any idea what''s wrong ?

exec { ''test'':
     path        => 
''/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'',
     environment => ["HOME=test", "HOME2=test2"],
    command    => "echo $HOME > /tmp/key",
    user        => ''root'',
    group      => ''root'',
   }

I''m using Puppet 3.0

Thanks,
Felipe

Hi.  You need to escape the $ character!

For instance: "echo \$HOME > /tmp/key"

If you had defined $HOME within your manifest, then that would be the 
value that puppet substituted:

   $HOME = ''HI''
   exec { ''test'':
     path        => 
''/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin'',
     environment => ["HOME=test", "HOME2=test2"],
     command     => "echo $HOME > /tmp/key",
     user        => ''root'',
     group       => ''root'',
    }


Cheers.  Tom.
