i need to copy a file into a directory if that directory exists.
simple enough to instantiate the file type.. put this file there..
and if the path doesn't exist the ensure fails.. but with an error.
it would be great if the File type supported an onlyif parameter
similar to Exec so that the copy would not be attempted if the target
directory did not exist ie.
onlyif => "test -d /my/path"
i thought i could find a way to use the require metaparameter by first
declaring the target directory:
file { "/my/path" : alias => target }
file { "/my/path/file" : ..etc.., require => File[target] }
but this just kicks out the same kind of error but on the first File
since i don't want to explicitly create the directory (ensure =>
directory)
can anyone propose a solution for copying a file to a puppet client
system only if the target exists without generating errors ?
