David,
ifvarclass indeed does not work inside the vars: section (I agree this would be
nice), but you can use the traditional class-expression blocks to conditionally
define variables, like in this example:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "test" };
}
bundle agent test
{
classes:
"runtime_condition" expression => fileexists("/tmp/foo");
vars:
"foo" string => "bar";
runtime_condition::
"conditional" string => "this sometimes happens";
reports:
cfengine_3::
"foo: $(foo)";
"conditional: $(conditional)";
}
When running it:
$ /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent.exe -KI -f ./test_variables_classes.cf
R: foo: bar
R: conditional: $(conditional)
$ touch /tmp/foo
$ /var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent.exe -KI -f ./test_variables_classes.cf
R: foo: bar
R: conditional: this sometimes happens
