similar to: escape sequence within generate function

I''d like to include similar information that notice() spits out in a file I am generating -- basically so that anyone looking at the generated file (actually a file fragment) could trace it back to the class that is generating the entry.

If I have a "simple" variable value, this works fine: capmon@peter:~> puppet -e ''$v="xyz" exec { f: command => "/bin/echo v is $v", logoutput => true }'' notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[f]/returns: v is xyz notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[f]/returns: executed successfully But how do I escape "bad" values of $v? Painful examples like the

Hi, I am new to Ruby ERB and inline_template. Can anyone spot what''s wrong with this inline_template? $moddedContent = inline_template("<%= puts gets(nil).gsub(/one two three/,\"\") /tmp/blah %>") exec { "/bin/echo ''${moddedContent}'' > /tmp/blah" : } When I try to apply it, I

I''m running Puppet 2.7.1 on the master as well as the agent and just received a new error which doesn''t actually reference a module or a file, so I''m somewhat stuck as to how to debug this.

Hello, i have a problem in my sudo manifest file, because in the variable $name comes sometimes usernames like user.lastname, but i need for sudo (includedir */etc/sudoers.d/*) file names with no dots (like user_lastname).

I''m trying to manipulate the following facter variable: ipaddress => 10.85.207.2 What I need is the second group of digits. If it''s 84 then location is A, but if it''s 85 then location is B. In puppet I couldn''t grab this second set of digits, but maybe there is a way? I''ve already tried to make a custom fact, but my ruby knowledge is *ahem* pretty

Hallo, I''m developing a custom function that is exhibiting some odd behavior, so I would like to debug it. How do I load it in the ruby shell in a way that lets me execute it? I have tried the steps on the documentation: irb(main):001:0> require ''puppet'' > > => true > > irb(main):002:0> require ''phash2text.rb'' > > =>

I tried to use a Puppet variable named "$memory" and access it from a template, like this: $memory = 4711 file { "/tmp/test.txt": content => inline_template("memory = <%= memory %>\n"); } One would think that my file would contain "memory = 4711" after that, but instead the memory variable seems to hold a

Hi, I am having an issue trying to use the inline_template function to return an array. This is what I do: $array = inline_template ("<%= a=[''a1'',''b2'',''c3'']; a %>") notify {"array: ${array}":} And that works, showing the typical comma-less string: notice: /Stage[main]//Notify[array: a1b2c3]/message: defined

I''m having a problem with variable interpolation that I haven''t found a good solution to. I want to use a variable as part of the name of a fact, but the interpolation doesn''t work as expected. I''ve allowed for passing the mac address into my define() but if it''s not provided I want to look it up via facter. if

Hello , There is a way to source /etc/profile inside puppet on demand? My problem is that I install Java, afterwards I set JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/profile. After Java is installed, a gem which depends on Java starts to install ... but as it needs JAVA_HOME environment to be set, it fails. I am not sure what can I do ...

I want to be able to have Puppet determine which file to use as the source of a template() call in a manner similar to the source parameter. Basically, I want to have a file resource that will use the most appropriate file for a template. While I can do: file { "file.conf" : source => [ "puppet:///module/file.conf.${hostname}",

Hi, I''m looking to combine a couple of fact names with the value of a class parameter to create and lookup the resulting fact''s value. Is that possible?

I am having an issue with templates that I cant quite figure out why it is having an issue. I am using ruby dsl to read a template from a database and it keeps having problems with anything other than <%= var %> type definitions. I even went as far cutting and pasting from the puppet online documentation just to see if it were maybe something I goofed. I pasted below the tested template
