I'm trying to use the existing type: file in a custom provider. I've
tried about every single thing I can find, and each way presents a
different problem.
Here's how it looks now:
---
require 'puppet/file_serving/configuration'
require 'puppet/file_serving/fileset'
require 'puppet/type'
require 'fileutils'
Puppet::Type.type(:tmfile).provide(:pupfile) do
def create
@catalog.add_resource Puppet::Type.type(:file).new({
:name => @resource.value(:path),
:path => @resource.value(:path),
:source => @resource.value(:source),
:ensure => 'present',
})
@catalog.apply
#def generate
#Puppet::Type.type(:file).new(:path =>
resource[:path], :source => resource[:path], :ensure => 'present')
#end
end
def destroy
FileUtils.rm_rf resource[:path]
end
def exists?
File.exists?(@resource[:path])
end
end
----
As you can see, another method I tried is commented out:
Puppet::Type.type(:file).new(:path => resource[:path], :source =>
resource[:path], :ensure => 'present'). With this method, the puppet
run actually succeeds and it says it created the resource. However,
the file doesn't actually get created, and next run, it simply creates
the resource again without error. However, the file is never there.
With the current method (not commented out), I get:
".. ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not set
'present on ensure: undefined method `add_resource' for nil:NilClass
at .."
I will admit that I'm pretty new at custom types and providers. I
have researched as much as I can but can't really find any clear
documentation on how to do this. Any ideas/suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!
