Hello, folks:
I want to include a file into my templates to deduplicate code.
However, I''m running into problems with the module path. If I try to
include the relative path with code like the following it fails:
# Fails
require ''foo.rb''
However, a fully qualified path succeeds:
# Works as expected
require ''/etc/puppet/modules/foobar/templates/foo.rb''
While the latter works it causes problems if I want to move the
module. Am I overlooking something here? I''ve grepped through the
variables passed into the templates and I don''t see any paths passed in
that I could use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use here the concept of partial template.
Try including
<%= scope.function_template("foo.rb") %>
This may help you, please refer
http://somethingsinistral.net/blog/partial-templates-with-puppet/
Here is the link, someone has faced the similar issue as including file in
template, refer
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16551717/how-to-include-a-subtemplate-in-a-puppet-template.
I hope its useful to you.
Thanks and Regards,

The stackoverflow link looks promising, however, in that the discussion there demonstrates a technique for determining the template file''s location from within the file itself, using the __FILE__ variable. To apply that to ''require''ing a Ruby source file you would probably end up with something like this: <% require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/foo.rb" %> John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

> <% require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/foo.rb" %>This suits my needs perfectly. Thanks!
