Hi,
I did some basic googling, but didn't find an answer yet. I am sorry if
this is a FAQ.
In a manifest for creating an Apache config file, I define a hash like this:
$aliases = {
'/foo/' => '/home/foo/www/',
'/bar/' => '/home/bar/www/',
'/baz/' => '/home/baz/www//'
}
Then, in a template, I have:
<% aliases.each_pair do |key, val| -%>
Alias <%= key %> <%= val %>
<% end -%>
The result is mostly what I expect, but every once in a while, the order
in which the Aliases are generated from the 'each_pair' loop changes,
resulting in a different file.
The Ruby docs state that "hashes enumerate their values in the order that
the corresponding keys were inserted.", but is that not true for Puppet
hashes?
I did stumble across this post:
http://serverfault.com/questions/368784/puppet-and-templates-how-to-loop-sequently-and-not-randomly
which suggests to do something like
<% aliases.sort_by {|key, value| key}.each_pair do |key, val| -%>
<% end -%>
Will it work? Is that a proper solution?
Thanks!
