I think I understand why that wouldn't work, but that's not what I
tried. I set the variable and include the module at the same level, as
in the example I posted. These two lines are always in the same file.
In my first attempt, the way it worked was I had this in my base node.
case $location {
foo: { include foo::base }
bar: { include bar::base }
default: { error("Cannot determine at what university $fqdn is
located") }
}
and then in foo::base I had
include ntp
since that location was using the default value, and in bar::base I
had
$ntp_servers = ["timeserver1.example.edu", "timeserver2.example.edu"]
include ntp
since it was using a custom value. However, the value of $ntp_servers
wasn't being set properly for hosts at location bar, hence my post.
In my second attempt I moved everything related to ntp out of
foo::base and bar::base modules and into the base node, like so
include ntp
case $location {
foo: {
include foo::base
}
bar: {
$ntp_servers = ["timeserver1.example.edu",
"timeserver2.example.edu", "timeserver3.bar.edu"]
include bar::base
}
default: {
error("Cannot determine at what location $fqdn is located")
}
}
However, that still did not work. Should either of these have worked?
Why or why not? Could either be tweaked to work?
All the best,
Brian Pitts
