Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but it seems to me that warning actions are
outside of the normal promise classes. It would be nice if instead they
were a fourth class. For example consider this promise.
files:
any::
"/tmp/foo"
action => warn_now,
perms => system(
"0600",
"nwatson",
"bin"
),
classes => cdefine(
"/tmp/foo_kept",
"/tmp/foo_repaired",
"/tmp/foo_failed"
);
Using this I can nicely log if the promise is kept, repaired or not kept.
However, this particular promise is supposed to be passive or warn only.
Warnings seem to happen outside of any control. That is they
automatically log fixed strings with a '!!' prefix. What if instead these
acted differently? I see two possibilities.
First a warning only action defines another class meaning that the promise
needs to be repaired but only a warning was issued.
classes => cdefine(
"/tmp/foo_warning",
"/tmp/foo_kept",
"/tmp/foo_repaired",
"/tmp/foo_failed"
);
The other option would be to keep the existing three possible classes and
define the failed class when in warning mode. Since the promise was not
kept a failure to keep the promise seems logical.
Is there a way to do this that I haven't seen?
Sincerely,
