I'm using a primitive template to build my iptables rulesets. It's all in a branch on my github repo at
http://github.com/rasputnik/babysteps-puppet/tree/templated-iptables template that looks like: <% if has_variable?('httpd::open_firewall') %> -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT <% end -%> (see http://github.com/rasputnik/babysteps-puppet/blob/templated-iptables/modules/iptables/templates/iptables.erb ) i then set a variable in the httpd module like this: class httpd { $open_firewall = 'on' #.... rest of httpd class def. } [ http://github.com/rasputnik/babysteps-puppet/blob/templated-iptables/modules/httpd/manifests/init.pp ] The idea being that if a node has 'include httpd', then when it runs 'include iptables' it'll open the right port. This works fine for classes that include httpd. The trouble is that i get this error on nodes that don't : [r...@node03 ~]# puppetd -tv info: Retrieving plugins err: Could not retrieve catalog: Failed to parse template iptables/iptables.erb: Class httpd has not been evaluated so its variables cannot be referenced at /etc/puppet/modules/iptables/manifests/init.pp:11 on node node03.pixie warning: Not using cache on failed catalog To my mind, that should be a warning, not an error. Is there any 'guard' I can put in my template to stop this blowing up? I did try: <% if has_variable?('httpd') && has_variable?('httpd::open_firewall') %> but the first clause is always false, even on nodes that 'include httpd'. Sorry this has been a bit longwinded, but I'm a bit stumped here. Thanks in advance for any tips. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
