Hi Felix,
Thanks for the help. I have solved it another way.
In my case the array is dynamic. My scripts should support any number
of IPs. Initially we dont know that. The user will set the array in
the site.pp and run the scripts. Our modules should rnu according to
the length of the array. So here
proxy_ring {
"1": $ip1;
"2": $ip2;
...
}
We cannot hardcode the parameters.
However, I have solved that in different manner.
I have used the John's comment "Exec<| tag == 'test_tag' |> -> File['/
tmp/testecho.txt'] " statement to tell the dependency to the Ruby DSL.
Thanks everybody who helped me.
Thanks,
Sateesh B.
