Hello, I am in the process of "trying out" Puppet, and so far, it is going really well, and I can see a clear line of how we can use it internally.
I do have one question though with regard to the using the onlyif parameter of the exec command (as per here http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec). Ideally, what I would like to do is to only run a PowerShell exec command, if a web page doesn't currently exist on the server (i.e. the PowerShell script is responsible for deploying the Web Pages (into SharePoint in this case) and I only want to run this step, if these pages don't already exist. To that end, I have done something like this: onlyif => '$webRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create("http://some-url.test.aspx";); $webRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = $true; try { if([int]$webRequest.GetResponse().StatusCode -eq "200") { exit 0; } else { exit 1; } } catch [System.Net.WebException] { exit 1; }' Which, at the command line, has the correct result. However, when I try to run this, I get an error saying that $webRequest is not recognised. Which leads me to think that using variables within the onlyif is not supported. Is that correct? If so, what is the best approach for doing this, or am I going up the wrong path? Thanks in advance!
