My code does not show the time. Does anybody has a solution? notify {"time_now": message => Deferred('new', [TimeStamp]) } $d = Deferred('new', [TimeStamp]) notify {'time_now_2': message => "The time is: ${d}" } $dd = Deferred('new', [TimeStamp]) notify {"time_now_3": message => Deferred("sprintf", ["The time is: %s", $dd]) } notify { 'time_now_4': message => Deferred('inline_epp', [@(END)]) The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %> |- END } My result Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]}) Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})' Notice: The time is: Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]}) Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_2]/message: defined 'message' as 'The time is: Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})' Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'sprintf', 'arguments' => ['The time is: %s', Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]})]}) Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_3]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'sprintf\', \'arguments\' => [\'The time is: %s\', Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})]})' Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'inline_epp', 'arguments' => ['The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %>']}) Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_4]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'inline_epp\', \'arguments\' => [\'The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %>\']})' Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
