Hi I'm pretty new to puppet and am still learning, so apologies for what is probably a daft question..
I'm using puppet to deploy tomcat, and as part of this I need to dynamically edit an XML file based on data passed to the class from heira. I'm doing this by a) using a file resource to put the xml file in place b) Using Augeas to search and replace a value within the file This all works... except that, of course, everytime puppet runs, step a) notices that step b) has changed the file, which replaces it, and then step b edits it again... How do I prevent this? I know I could tell step a to not replace an existing file, but then we'd fail to pick on unplanned changes. I could also, I suppose, construct the file every time puppet runs in a temp location, and then check the resultant file against the actual xml file - but that seems counter-intuitive. Is there a way to modify the existing file using augeas, and then check the result against the live version, while keeping the code fairly straightforward and self-contained within puppet?
