No problem there.  I figured that this time I better actually include
the "error" message though. ;)

My impression is that it isn't parsing the command line properly to
extract the array data, but it sounds like I am going to have to dig
into the code.  Oh, well. :)

There were no error messages, just incorrect behaviour, but it is a
fair request. :)

Sorry, nope:

dan...@ea:~$ puppet resource host some.example.com target=${PWD}/demo
ip=127.0.0.1 host_aliases="['www.example.com','mail.example.com']"
notice: /Host[some.example.com]/ensure: created
host { 'some.example.com':
ip => '127.0.0.1',
host_aliases => ['['www.example.com','mail.example.com']'],
target => '/Users/daniel/demo',
ensure => 'present'
}
dan...@ea:~$ cat demo

# HEADER: by puppet.  While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
127.0.0.1   some.example.com['www.example.com','mail.example.com']

That would ... well, "not work" is a nice way to put it.  Puppet just
did as asked, but broke my hosts file in the process.  If I used that
live. :)

Daniel

[Puppet Users] puppet resource, and parameters that take arrays...

[Daniel Pittman]

So, I had occasion to try and use the 'puppet resource' operation for
the first time, and colour me foolish but I can't actually work it
out.

Specifically, I can't figure out how to get an array of values set:

] puppet resource host some.example.com ip=127.0.0.1
host_aliases=www.example.com,mail.example.com

That doesn't work.  Neither does giving the host_aliases argument
multiple times, or "[www,mail]", or "['www','mail']", and I can't
identify any other approach from the docs.  Now, obviously I can dive
into the code, but I figured to ask if anyone else can tell me the
answer without having to do that I can be happy. :)

Regards,
Daniel
