I have written a small custom function to replace '.' to '_' of all element of an array and return an converted array.
module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:convert_vo, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-'ENDOFDOC' This function takes an array of vo and replace '.' with '_' and return an converted array ENDOFDOC ) do |arguments| require 'rubygems' vo_list = arguments.clone unless vo_list.is_a?(Array) raise(Puppet::ParseError, 'convert_vo requires an array') end converted_vo = Array.new() vo_list.each do |vo| converted_vo.push(vo.gsub(/\./, '_')) end return converted_vo end end I am calling it like this from init.p $vo = ['dteam', 'vo.southgrid.ac.uk'] $converted_vo = convert_vo($vo) Puppet run on client machine fails with this error Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: private method `gsub' called for ["dteam", "vo.southgrid.ac.uk"]:Array at /etc/puppet/modules/voms_client/manifests/init.pp I ran this script on client and server machines seperately and it worked perfectly. I am not sure that what I am missing? Thanks Kashif -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
