ok, so I think I have most of it working, I'm just not quite sure how
to specify the File resource to be returned.
I've tried to make this as generic as possible.
type.rb already has an autorequire method that checks class
autorequires, so I'm adding the provider autorequires there.
self.class.suitableprovider.each do |provider|
if provider.respond_to?(:autorequire)
provider.autorequire(self).each do |req|
Puppet.notice("got an autorequire of: #{req}")
end
end
end
Obviously I'm not doing anything with it yet, but it will get appended
to the existing array of requirements.
I have two questions:
a) Should I be passing "self" to the provider autorequire method?
I need some way for the provider in its own autorequire method to know
what resource it needs to build the autorequire list for, and this
works, but I'm not sure if it is consistent with the rest of the
Puppet code.
b) On the other side in my provider, once I have the resource name,
and thus can work out what files it should autorequire, how do I build
a File resource to return back based upon the path(s) ?
from my provider:
def self.autorequire(resource)
Puppet.notice("provider.self.autorequire: resource: #{resource[:name]}")
job_path, job_plist = self.plist_from_label(resource[:name])
Puppet.notice("provider.self.autorequire: path: #{job_path}")
# how do I return an array of required file resources at this point?
[]
end
