similar to: rspec-puppet and create_resources

I recently started trying to use rspec-puppet and puppetlabs-rspec-helper. When I ran ''rspec-puppet-init'' in one o fmy modules, it created a series of symlinks. Now, when I run puppet doc (via a rake task supplied by The Foreman, but also when I call it directly) I get the following error: Could not generate documentation: Definition ''mongodb::addmongouser''

Hi all, I''m interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into Hiera. Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get it to work the way I thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I''ve read so far don''t address it. The class (in init.pp): class users { $system_users =

I''m having some issues trying to track down a problem I''m having parsing a simple template, using create_resources and Hiera. Here''s my setup (abridged): ../hieradata/settings.yaml: *global:* * variables:* * env: foo* * * *appSpecific:* * serverName: someServer* ../modules/test/manifests/init.pp: *class test {* * create_resources(test::variables,

Hi all, I''d like to specify a base_directory and a list of directories (as variables that may be pulled via hiera later) that will be created under that base directory. base_dir = "/home/base" bars = ["a", "b", "c"] bars will be used to create the folders under base and also part of the information going into building a template so I

Does anyone have some examples of using this create_resources function, https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources, ? Based on the README example I can''t figure out exactly how to change from using defines to using this function. Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of create_resources...is it to replace defines, or is it to allow ENCs (for example) to use a define? Below

Hi, I am trying to create multiple users using puppet. I have created a ENC and trying to use class wrapped defined types with create_resources function. For some reason things are falling apart. I would really appreciate some help on these Here are the details about my classes and configuration http://serverfault.com/questions/409001/create-resources-function-and-puppet-enc -- You

I''m trying to use create_resources to create a series of files with semi-custom content based on a template. This is what I have: foo.conf.erb: Name "<%= name %>" WorkingDir "<%= working_dir %>" ... a bunch of static entries YAML: configs: config1: Name: app1 WorkingDir: /var/app1 config2: Name: app2 WorkingDir: /var/app2

I am trying to use the same hiera hash to create the mount point and mounts. (Would be nice if mount could create the mount points using 3.1.1) My plan was to define create_mount_points and use create_resources with the same hash, and just though away what I dont use.... maybe there is a better means? Here is the mount class: class fstab::mounts ( $config = undef ) { $defaults = {

Hello I''d love a bit of advice in terms of how I should best go about this. I am creating a bunch of vhosts, their definitions are stored in json (I''m using heira) that json file will be generated from data held on another server. I''m just using the puppetlabs apache module and create_resources to then generate all the vhosts and their directories etc. I''m

I am trying to add ability to add virtual users to the git://github.com/erwbgy/puppet-system.git module as I really want the ability to use virtual users and then combine that with "User <| group == ''x'' and group == ''y'' |>" way of realizing the users. This is much more flexible than what I can do with this module out of the box. Using the

Howdy: I need some help please to get hiera configuration data derived from YAML, thru puppet. I have studied Internet search results and puppet documentation on create_resources and custom defines but need a little help along. I can print out the YAML from variables, arrays, and, finally, hashes too from a puppet manifest. One thing that is stumping me is how to access from the custom define

Hi all, We''ve recently started exploring the role / profile / component module described by Craig Dunn in his blog here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ and discussed on the list the other day. As I was implementing this for a profile using the apache module, I realized that I could make another refinement to our approach by using

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -

Hi, I was playing with rspec and every time I find a possible improvement that could be made in spec_helper or rakefile I have to change it in every module that is using rspec tests. So maybe these things could be centralized, I thought to myself. I found the following module, actually. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-module_spec_helper But I am at a lost how to use it. Is it supposed

I have been working on adding some predicate functions to puppetlabs-stdlib that test things based on ''interfaces'' and related facts. The functions themselves seem to work fine in my manifest-based smoketests, but I am running into trouble that may or may not be due to my ignorance about rspec or Facter. Something needs to be done to initialize Facter because

I am trying to figure out if I am missing something simple here. After upgrading to puppet 3.0 running puppet-rspec tests that use custom resources from modules in the fixtures directory are failing. I have a module that uses the anchor type and with 2.7.19 it works fine. After upgrading to 3.0 all of the tests are failing with Puppet::Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with

Hi folks, Is there a way to test the result of a hiera_hash() lookup in a manifest? I am trying to use hiera to do most of my configuration, like this for example: mysql::grants: ''user1@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv ''user2@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv - insert_priv - lock_tables_priv I have a wrapper

I have these three modules with the following structure: |-- modules | |-- create_resources | | |-- LICENSE | | |-- Modulefile | | |-- README | | |-- lib | | | `-- puppet | | | `-- parser | | | `-- functions | | | `-- create_resources.rb | | |-- spec | | | |-- spec.opts | | | |-- spec_helper.rb | | | `-- unit

I''m confused about this... https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/ I see a lot of functions there that are the same as the ones that come standard with puppet. If I create a module and dump this stuff in there, what happens to the existing stuff? How does puppet know which one to use?

Hello, I''m writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem which I don''t see how to solve. The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass "--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf" parameter to Puppet. So far I haven''t found a way to do that. If I
