All-
We're using puppet (opensource) 3.4.2 master and clients. We've been
using puppet a few years, including create_resources, but this is my
first foray into creating complicated nested hashes.
I've boiled the problem I'm running into down to this example:
$ cat /tmp/foo.pp
class foo {
foo::bar { 'somevalue':
stuff => {
'one' => 'doesnt_matter',
'two' => 'doesnt_matter',
}
}
}
define foo::bar (
$stuff = {},
) {
#
# not valid: fails with a parser validation error on the key $name:
#
# Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
# 'name';
# expected '}' at /tmp/foo.pp:21
#
$new_hash = {
$name => $stuff,
}
#
# this works, using a constant key
#
$new_hash = {
'a_constant' => $stuff,
}
}
This comes from a larger, more complicated example, but what I'm trying to
do is
- take a hash ($stuff) that has all the parameters I need
- create a new hash with a single key that's the $name/$title for the define,
and a value that contains the hash $stuff that I was passed.
As you might guess, this is to make $new_hash suitable for passing
to create_resources.
Is there some other way to create a new hash, give it a single top-level
key that is a variable, and assign a separate (passed-in as a parameter)
hash as the value for that key? I would be fine with using stdlib::merge,
but I don't see any obvious way to accomplish this task with stdlib::merge
either.
Thanks,
Tim
