I saw something I didn't expect last night. Ted cleaned up a sketch for managing /etc/security/limits.conf that worked like this example.
The file making the promise $(filename) gets set to different values based on a class. I thought due to normal ordering, on the first pass filename should get set to "/tmp/nodebug" since the debug class has not been raised yet. And then the files promise would create that file, but the only file created is "/tmp/debug" and it happens on the first pass. I get more warnings about duplicate selection of value for variable "filename" if I move the !debug to any but the behaviour is still the same. Only /tmp/debug is created. Can someone explain how the variable/class convergence works, and why this is the case? https://gist.github.com/3217217 body common control { bundlesequence => { "main" }; inputs => { "cfengine_stdlib.cf"}; } bundle agent main { methods: # yes|true|on as a parameter will raise the debug class "any" usebundle => test("on"); } bundle agent test(param){ vars: debug:: "filename" string => "/tmp/debug"; !debug:: "filename" string => "/tmp/nodebug"; classes: "debug" expression => regcmp("(?i)yes|true|on", "$(param)"); files: "$(filename)" create => "true", classes => if_repaired("repaired_$(filename)"); reports: cfengine:: "I repaired $(filename)" ifvarclass => canonify("repaired_$(filename)"); } _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
