What am I doing wrong? the definition of the variable is only in the scope of the class. However you can address it by direct name: $ cat foo.pp class a { $b = 'helo world' } define c(){ include a notice("$a::b") } c{'d': } $ puppet foo.pp notice: Scope(C[d]): helo world but you have to include the class, otherwise the class isn't evaluated hence you can't refer to its variables. cheers pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksbjY4ACgkQbwltcAfKi3/5dQCfZO3yputBjgzFSX23v62qYt7a TpkAnjjlHdwKtrdZRJABNKYOJPFMs4Y1 =SpBF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
