Hi,
I have created a few modules with the puppet-module generate function and I
wanted to know how I can use some of the module's json features to get metadata
information from the module.
Is there an api to get this module info?
"puppet-module generate cosman-test" creates the following directory contents:
-rw-r--r-- 1 cosman2001 cosman2001 223 Jun 1 11:17 Modulefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 cosman2001 cosman2001 31 Jun 1 11:17 README
drwxr-xr-x 3 cosman2001 cosman2001 102 Jun 1 11:17 files
drwxr-xr-x 4 cosman2001 cosman2001 136 Jun 1 11:17 lib
drwxr-xr-x 4 cosman2001 cosman2001 136 Jun 1 11:17 manifests
-rw-r--r-- 1 cosman2001 cosman2001 602 Jun 1 11:17 metadata.json
drwxr-xr-x 6 cosman2001 cosman2001 204 Jun 1 11:17 spec
drwxr-xr-x 3 cosman2001 cosman2001 102 Jun 1 11:17 templates
drwxr-xr-x 3 cosman2001 cosman2001 102 Jun 1 11:17 tests
Inside the Modulefile:
powerbeast:cosman-test cosman2001$ cat Modulefile
name 'cosman-test'
version '0.0.1'
source 'UNKNOWN'
author 'cosman'
license 'UNKNOWN'
summary 'UNKNOWN'
description 'UNKNOWN'
project_page 'UNKNOWN'
## Add dependencies, if any:
# dependency 'username/name', '>= 1.2.0'
Inside the metadata.json file:
powerbeast:cosman-test cosman2001$ more metadata.json
/*
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| ==> DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! <== |
| |
| You should edit the `Modulefile` and run `puppet-module build` |
| to generate the `metadata.json` file for your releases. |
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
*/
{}
After "building" the module (puppet-module build modulepath)
metadata.json now looks like this:
powerbeast:cosman-test-0.0.1 cosman2001$ more metadata.json
{
"description": "UNKNOWN",

},
"source": "UNKNOWN",
"version": "0.0.1",

}
Now how would I get this wonderful metadata? Does an API exist or do I need to
create something?
