Hi, Excited to announce that I have released puppet-deubugger version 0.6.0. It has been a while since my last release announcement despite many new releases. Additionally, I also renamed this project from puppet-repl to puppet-debugger since it reflected more on the capabilities of the project. Announce most people don’t know what a REPL is but do understand what a debugger is.
With the new debugger name also brings a new puppet application called ‘debugger’. This uses the application face base to allow for many additionally features that get inherited using the face. See puppet debugger -h for a few examples. One of my favorite features is the integration with facterdb (https://github.com/camptocamp/facterdb <https://github.com/camptocamp/facterdb>) that allows me to pretend I am on a different os. Ever wondered how you can play with the facts of a windows system? puppet debugger --facterdb-filter 'operatingsystem=windows’ or how about AIX puppet debugger --facterdb-filter 'kernel=AIX’ This release brings in two new features: — listing all the available datatypes — listing all the available types These two little features will save you time from having to look them up in the module and puppet documentation. You can even use tab completion for the datatype. Btw, did you know the puppetlabs-stdlib module comes with several new datatypes that are extremely useful? Web debugger example of new features https://www.puppet-debugger.com/play?url=https://gist.github.com/logicminds/b9307a71ab9f38db178ff420ba9c7a5d <https://puppet-debugger.com/play?url=https://gist.github.com/logicminds/b9307a71ab9f38db178ff420ba9c7a5d> As the puppet 4 language becomes the norm the ability to test little snippets of code quickly via the debugger is extremely valuable. If you are still doing this with puppet apply you should try the debugger and gain a realtime feedback loop. Playing with structured facts with the debugger is really easy and fun. The debugger will help you learn the puppet language faster and with all the new awesome features in Puppet 4 you have much to learn. If you like this project, put a star on it.
