[Puppet Users] Re: usage of '+>' ?

[udo waechter]

Thanks for the clarifications.







If I want to add the user 'test' to 'group3' I do need to:


2. add the user to group3 like so:

user{"test":
        groups => ["group1","group2","group3"],
}



user{"test":
        groups +> "group3",
}

adding the user to group3 without loosing group1,group2



Bye,
udo.

I guess that making this operator a general one would be a huge endeavor. My initial wish, to add a user to a certain group would then be possible, without having the user's group specified elsewhere. Lets suppose we have a user 'test' which is a member of groups 'group1', 'group2'. This is not defined by puppet, but rather given by the OS. 1. find out in which groups it already is ('group1', 'group2'). This list could be different on different computers. Would it be feasable to have the '+>' operator do step 1, then one would need to have only: Would this be a feature request? I guess the functionality I propose here is pretty unique to the user and group type.

That behaviour is used in resource overrides (inheritance)

Given:

class x {
  user { test: groups => blah }
}

Additional values can be added in an override class.

class y inherits x {
  User['test'] { groups +> blah2 }
}

Ouch,
Documentation (

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial ) says its:

"It is also possible (since version 0.23.1) to add values to resource
parameters using the +> operator:"

I am pretty sure, that I saw this sentence around for a while
(definetly
longer than .6), I just did not try it out.

Are the docs wrong?

According to:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial
one can use the  '+>' operator to add additional  values to a
parameter.

In which cases does this actually work?
When i try to add the user www-data to the ssl-cert group:

user{"www-data":
  groups +> "ssl-cert",
}

this does not work (.. Syntax error at '+>'; expected '}' at...).
All
examples in the docs add only other types to the 'require'
parameters of

parameters?

Or does the user-type do the "adding the user to the group" thing
by itself?

Thanks,
udo.
