I'm doing some work on module development inside of a Vagrant VM of CentOS 6.2. This VM has the community version of Puppet installed (2.7.13 I think), but that doesn't include Hiera by default.
My module is dependent on Nan Liu's puppet-staging module, which requires hiera. This puts me into the proverbial chicken and egg problem of not having a puppet function but also not being able to install it with puppet, since my manifests don't compile due to the hiera function not being available. Right now, I'm doing a manual bootstrap of a new vagrant box with a dedicated Puppet manifest that calls another one of Nan's modules, puppet-hiera, to install hiera on the Vagrant VM, but I'd rather use the same manifest for both bootstrap and module testing. I don't care if it takes two passes to converge, I just don't want a freshly booted Vagrant box to complain because it can't compile it's manifest. Is there a relatively foolproof way to determine if Puppet has a function available to it or not? Is there a "has_function" function available in the Puppet DSL, or is there a check that I could roll into a fact that works cross-platform and between Puppet Enterprise and Community? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
