Just realized my code is slightly wrong for you since you wanted hex values rather than alphanumeric string. The first line should be: <% range = [*'0'..'9',*'a'..'f'] -%> On 11/25/2015 10:36 AM, Peter Kristolaitis wrote: <% range = [*'0'..'9',*'A'..'Z',*'a'..'z'] -%> <%=

okay, this works. test.pp class a { $inline = inline_template( '<% scope.lookupvar("interfaces").split(",").each do |interface| %> <% @int_ip = scope.lookupvar("ipaddress_" + interface) %> <% @int_name = Resolv.new.getname @int_ip %> <%= "#{@int_ip} #{@int_name}" %> <% end %>')

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

First, thanks for the help - I've been banging my head against the wall too much on this. Unfortunately, it's still not working for me.. I'm not using an inline template, I have an actual .erb file called out in my manifest - though I don't see why this would be any different. my erb now

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

No, it is the same for the this test. You do need to have a resolvable IP address for each interface IP it finds or it will error. For example I had to add hostnames in my /etc/hosts file for my vagrant IPs (10.0.2.15, 172.28.128.5). That maybe the error you're seeing there, "cannot interpret as

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

Yep...the IP's are all resolvable, and if I hardcode one of them in to the Resolv... line, it works and writes to the file... so I have no idea why passing @int_ip to Resolv (instead of the hardcoded IP) fails... Thanks again for the help... On Wednesday, November 25, 2015 at 4:04:00 PM UTC-6,

[Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

I'm writing a template to populate a file - easy enough... What I want is to to grab the list of interfaces, get the ip assigned to that interface and then do a lookup of the ip to get the dns name. I'm able to get the interfaces/ips just fine, but can't figure out how to then pass the IP to

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

Right, that works -- but I want to get the IP by using the scope.lookup var and not hardcode an IP in the template. I know both the "scope.lookupvar('ipaddress_'+interface)" and "@int_name = Resolv.new.getname " works, but I'm struggling on how to send the IP gained from the lookupvar to the

[Puppet Users] random hex string in erb template

I want to create a random hex string in the format 041f798-a5f inclusive the dash in a XML file. I have tried using a self written shell script which generates the string with <%= exec('/var/somedir/somescript') %> in the template. That unfortunately didn't work. I suspect I have to write a
