That's not working for me Pete.
class db_deploy::base {
$build_user = "build"
}
define db_deploy::starterkit($db_deploy_version, $db_type="mysql") {
include db_deploy::base
file {
"${dir_deploy}/${db_deploy_version}/${db_type}/${dir_starterkit}/${db_deploy_version}/ant.properties.${db_deploy::base::build_user}":
content =>
template("db_deploy/starterkit/ant.properties.${build_user}"),
require =>
File["${dir_deploy}/${db_deploy_version}/${db_type}/${dir_starterkit}/${db_deploy_version}"],
}
}
Results in puppet telling me that the path doesn't exist... because
the value of ${db_deploy::base::build_user} is empty. I've also tried
$db_deploy::base::build_user and got the same result.
