This was mostly done by try and error since I dont know what you can access through scope.* and what they mean but it worked in a short test: # This file was generated by puppet # # Template Sourcefile: <%= file %> # Puppetmanifest : <%= scope.source.file %> # Class/Define : <%= scope.resource.path %> -Stefan
