Pretty sure you can be backport to 2.6 since it's just a function:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources
I tried you suggestion, but get this error...
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on

puppet/modules/backuppc/manifests/definitions/sqldump.pp:11 on
node ...
Can't say for sure without more code, but this simple example should
demonstrate how this works:
$myhash = {
var1 = {
message = 'hi'
},
var2 = {
message = 'bye'
}
}
define my_notify ($var) {
notify { $name:
message = $var[$name]['message']
}
}
my_notify { ['var1', 'var2']:
var = $myhash
}
Also I am not sure what you mean by functions that get an array of
first level hash keys.
I mean if you need this to work with any hash without manually
providing an array of resource titles write a custom puppet function
that returns hash keys as a custom puppet function.
Thanks,
Nan

I have a module for backuppc, and am trying to pass a hash to a define
to create a single script and the necessary directories. What I can't
seem to figure out how to do is have this hash's values be used to
create files / directories and also populate a template.
Here's the hash...
$backuppc_db_dumps = {
redmine = {
'backup_dir' = '/var/www/rails/redmine',
'databases' = 'redmine',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
general = {
'backup_dir' = '/etc',
'databases' = 'mysql',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
}
I have successfully used that to with a template to generate a script,
but am unsure how to pass those values to a define in order to ensure
the dump_dir exists.
After the above variable I added
backuppc::sqldump { $backuppc_db_dumps: }
You are passing a hash as the resource title, a resource title is
either a string or array of string.
Here's the define ...
define backuppc::sqldump () {
file {
$name[dump_dir]:
ensure = directory,
owner = 'root',
group = 'root',
mode = '0770',
}
}
Is this something that's even possible? The error I get doesn't make
any sense to me...
Not in the current form, what you are looking for is probably best
described here:http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8670
However a small change should allow this to work. (disclaimer,
untested, but I've done something similar).
define backuppc::sqldump ($var) {
$value = $var[$name]
file {
$value[dump_dir]:
ensure = directory,
owner = 'root',
group = 'root',
mode = '0770',
}
}
backuppc::sqldump { ['redmine', 'general']:
var =$backuppc_db_dumps,
}
If you have a functions that gets an array of the first level hash
keys, you can use that instead of specifying redmine, general.
HTH,
Nan
