Yes something was very strange. I did something wrong. I've got it
working now. The only major problem I had was that puppet didn't like
mything { regsubst($versions, '^.*$', "$name:\0"): }
I had to take out the regsubst function and do $foo = regsubst(...) mything
{ $foo: } I don't understand why that was necessary. It would say
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at ':'; expected '}' at
/etc/puppet/modules/mything/manifests/init.pp:6 on node test.domain.tld
Here are my files:
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.d/test.domain.tld.pp
node "web1test.vcu.edu" {
include "base"
include mything
$u = [ "A", "B", "C"]
$v = [ "1.5", "2.0", "4.2", "0.01" ]
# $u = "A"
# $v = "1.5"
mything::mythings {$u:
versions => $v }
}
and /etc/puppet/modules/mything/manifests/init.pp
class mything {
define mythings($versions) {
# $name == $title == the user
# this didn't work
# mything { regsubst($versions, '^.*$', "$name:\0"): }
# this works
foo = regsubst($versions, '^.*$', "$name:\0")
mything { $foo: }
}
define mything () {
# $name == $title == the version
$user_and_version = split($name, ':')
$user = $user_and_version[0]
$version = $user_and_version[1]
exec { "mything_${name}_${user}_${version}":
command => "/bin/date >> /tmp/mything.txt; echo /bin/echo mything v.
$version for $user >> /tmp/mything.txt; /bin/echo '' >> /tmp/mything.txt"
}
}
}
Can anyone tell me why it wouldn't let me use regsubst(...) as the name
when calling mything. If I could use it, so many possibilities would open
up.
Puppet on the client machine is 2.6.16 and the puppet master is 2.7.12
Thanks.
