I'd like to add a "this file managed by puppet" line to the top of the files I manage with augeas. This works but is not idempotent. I could add an onlyif but then if I want to change SELINUX to "off" I won't be able to, since the comment will always exist. augeas { 'selinux_config': context => '/files/etc/selinux/config', changes => [ 'ins #comment before #comment[1]', 'set #comment[1] "TEST"', 'set SELINUX on', ], } I I tried the following but get error "Error: /Stage[main]/Test_module/Augeas[selinux_config]: Could not evaluate: Saving failed, see debug" If I remove the 'ins' line the comment is added and it's idempotent, but of course the comment is at the bottom of the file. augeas { 'selinux_config': context => '/files/etc/selinux/config', changes => [ 'ins #comment before #comment[1]', 'set #comment[. = "TEST" ] "TEST"', 'set SELINUX on', ], } Is there any way to get this to work or am I just beating my head against the wall for nothing?
