Closer, but no cigar yet !
user.pp:
-------------------------
define add_user ( $username, $uid, $ingroups, $info ) {
<clip>
}
define add_virtual_user ( $v_username, $v_uid, $v_ingroups, $v_info ) {
@add_user { "${name}":
username => "${v_username}",
uid => "${v_uid}",
ingroups => "${v_ingroups}",
info => "${v_info}",
}
}
-------------------------
/etc/puppet/hierdata/common.yaml:
-------------------------
users:
beast:
v_username : beast
v_uid : 6666
v_ingroups :
v_info : Let's see if this works
boo:
v_username : boo
v_uid : 6667
v_ingroups :
v_info : Let's see if this works also
-------------------------
And if I say:
hiera users -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
I get:
{"beast"=>{"v_info"=>"Let's see if this works", "v_username"=>"beast",
"v_ingroups"=>nil, "v_uid"=>6666}, "boo"=>{"v_info"=>"Let's see if this works
also", "v_username"=>"boo", "v_ingroups"=>nil, "v_uid"=>6667}}
Which is out of order, but everything is there. That's how hashes are supposed
to work !
But when I try to run the catalog with
$the_users = hiera('users') or $the_users = hiera_hash('users')
followed by :
create_resources ( 'add_virtual_user', $the_users )
I get:
Must pass a parameter or all necessary values at
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/puppetmaster-node.pp:15 on node puppetmaster.foo.org
