Issue #3792 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
---------------------------------------- Bug #3792: Variables in site.pp don't really work right with selectors, possibly a problem with selectors on exported resources http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3792 Author: Joe McDonagh Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: variables site.pp exported resources Branch: I've been moving a lot of repetitive strings into site.pp and started moving my nagios config vars into there. The problem I run into though is that I admin both OpenBSD and Linux boxes. The OpenBSD ones have slightly different paths for nagios stuff so take a look at this example from site.pp: <pre> $nagios_root_dir = $kernel ? { Linux => "/etc/nagios3", OpenBSD => "/etc/nagios" } </pre> Now, have a look at this Linux box's (most definitely, without a doubt facter reports this is linux) error: <pre> err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find dependency File[/etc/nagios/nagios.puppet.d/services] for Nagios_service[@@check_nagios_on_binpatch-i386.mysite] at line 115 </pre> What's a little odd is that the host that is exporting the nagios service IS OpenBSD. So maybe this isn't a selector in site.pp error, but a sort of node variable confusion with exported resources, I don't know. The resource name for that file is derived partly from $nagios_root_dir. More specifically, this can be found later in site.pp: <pre> $nagios_cfg_dir = "${nagios_root_dir}/nagios.puppet.d" </pre> And in the module where the actual resource is: <pre> [ "$nagios_cfg_dir/hosts", "$nagios_cfg_dir/services", "$nagios_cfg_dir/contacts", "$nagios_cfg_dir/commands", "$nagios_cfg_dir/contactgroups", "$nagios_cfg_dir/hostgroups" ]: ensure => "directory", mode => "755", require => File["$nagios_cfg_dir"]; } </pre> Also, selectors seem to work as expected in site.pp for resource defaults: <pre> Package { ensure => "present", source => $kernel ? { OpenBSD => "ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/${kernel}/${operatingsystemrelease}/packages/${hardwaremodel}/";, default => undef }, } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
