Ah ha! Remembered and found another one: https://github.com/reidmv/puppet-module-puppet_certificate/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/puppet_certificate/ruby.rb#L22. Finding that one re-emphasized for me why CLI and API equivalence is the big win of Faces. The other half of the Face user experience is not just writing them, but being able to use them when writing other Puppet components. It's great to have that feeling of (probably false) knowledgeability you get from knowing things on the Puppet CLI, and being able to leverage it when you branch out and start trying to write more automated extensions of it. E.g. types and providers, as shown in this example. ~Reid -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
