Thanks R.I.
So iteration works with 3.8x with future parser. I am going to avoid 4
until Debian builds it into their repositories.
So iteration works but not with file_line..
Here is the code.
hiera array
mod1::testdefs:
- 'hello'
- 'there'
- 'friends'
##mod1 init.pp
each($testdefs) |$hline| {
file_line { 'Append a line to /etc/testfile':
ensure => present,
line => $hline,
path => '/etc/testfile',
}
}
##error is this
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Duplicate
declaration: File_line[Append a line to /etc/testfile] is already declared
in file /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/mod1/manifests/init.pp:48;
cannot redeclare at
/etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/mod1/manifests/init.pp:48
I tried putting the loop in the file_line type but that throws another
error since it is not acceptable to file_line.
Is there any way around this that you guys are aware of?
Thanks
