I'm trying to pass ensure=> values in variables (and set resource defaults
conditionally) and it doesn't seem to work that way. If there's some way of
getting this working I am very happy to hear about it.
In my site.pp I have this sort of thing:
if $::devstyle and str2bool($::devstyle) {
notify { 'et': message => 'devstyle on' }
File {
ensure => present,
}
$filefe = present
}
else {
$filefe = file
}
The idea is that puppet will treat all file resources as ensure=>present
anywhere that devstyle=true (it's an external fact). I do see the notify text
in syslog when the agent run proceeds.
However, two things are not happening:
1) not getting the resource default when the resource does not have ensure=>
(puppet reverts my manually modified file)
2) ensure => $::filefe is not ensuring 'present' when devstyle=true (special
corporate bits censored out):
notify { 'mrt1':
message => "filefe=${::filefe}"
}
file { '/etc/mrouted.conf':
ensure => $::filefe,
content => "whatever\n",
}
The notify reports the expected value of $::filefe is as I expect, but the
file's contents are still managed.

(/Stage[main]/Mrouted/Notify[mrt1]/message) defined 'message' as
'filefe=present'

On the bright side, it works exactly the same way without
hiera_include()/modules/etc.
$ cat /tmp/file1
my contents
$ cat /tmp/t.pp
$dire = directory
$file= present
#$file = file
class myclass {
notice("dire=${::dire} and file=${::file}")
file { '/tmp/dir1':
ensure => $::dire,
}
file { '/tmp/file1':
ensure => $::file,
content => "file1 contents\n",
}
}
include ::myclass
$ puppet apply /tmp/t.pp
