A plugin or an Exec is the *only* place to do it.  As I wrote, templates 
are evaluated on the master, so *inline_template() will not do what you 
want*.  If your code must run on the agent then it must be in a custom fact 
or in the provider of a custom type, it must be run via an Exec resource.

Neither would anything written in Ruby DSL, for much the same reason.

You can execute more or less arbitrary Ruby code from your manifest via an 
ERB template, using the built-in template() or inline_template() function.  
You can serve some purposes for which you might want Ruby by enabling and 
using the 'future' parser.  But all of that runs on the master, in order to 
build a "catalog" describing the resources and properties to manage on the 
target node.

If you want to run custom Ruby code on the client as part of a Puppet run 
then you must build a 
pluginwith
 which Puppet (or Facter) will do so.  If the purpose is to gather 
information to inform catalog construction, then your plugin should be a custom 
fact .  If the purpose 
is to modify the system then you want a custom resource type and a provider 
for it .

Hello Henrik ,

Thanks for your reply , i was also thinking to create a type and provider
using existing parser functionality  puppet has . Even thanks for sharing
those links , it was helpful.

Depends on what you are parsing, and what you need to do with the parsed
result. You may find that there is already a module that does what you want.

Basically, the logic that does that has to be an implementation of a 
resource type. That is what is responsible for syncing the state of the 
agent where it is running with what is on that agent. It gets what was 
specified in the manifests in a resource, and the provider logic for 
that resource type then does the sync.


That is how all resource types / providers work.

This may help you:

And you have Augeas where you can write "lenses" (plugins) to Augeas to 
handle specific syntax.

Re: [Puppet Users] using ruby dsl in puppet manifest

[Ritesh Nanda]

Thanks Henrik ,

I would like to find a file and  parse it  , so that would be on the agent
, creating a puppet function would not work , as master  will not be able
to access those files.
You said Can be done with Resources , how can i include a ruby block in my
manifest , i know using exec resource i can run a ruby script , but any
better way to do it.

Ritesh

Is it possible to use  ruby dsl for puppet in this way.


The ruby DSL is deprecated and will be removed in Puppet 4.

What you want is probably to write a function in Ruby.
The deprecated Ruby DSL was a way to write manifests in .rb files 
instead of .pp files.


If what you want to do is something that executes on the master side, 
you implement it as a function. If it is something that should run on 
the agent, it is implemented as a resource type.
