I would like to 'exec' an installation script 'onlyif' an installation
directory is empty. I tried using following bash one-liner however it
didn't work:
<code>
exec{$one_install_script:
require => File[$one_install_script],
onlyif => "[ \"$(/bin/ls -A $one_location)\" ] && exit 1 || exit
0"
}
</code>
It failed with following error:
<error>
err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter onlyif failed: '[ "$(/bin/ls -
A /srv/cloud/one)" ] && exit 1 || exit 0' is not qualified and no
path was specified. Please qualify the command or specify a path.
</error>
A bash script with above one-liner worked fine though.
<code>
exec{$one_install_script:
require => File[$one_install_script],
onlyif => "/tmp/is-dir-empty.sh $one_location"
</code>
The bash script approach works fine for me. However I am not sure what
is wrong with the one-liner command. Is $(cmd) command substitution or
built-in function 'exit' a problem? Any pointers will be really
helpful.
