[Puppet Users] Splat operator on file resource Error

[Martin Alfke]

Hi,

we want to make use of the splat operator and extend the list of parameters:

#site/profile/manifests/files.pp
class profile::files (
  Hash $files = {},
){
  $files.each |String $key, Hash $params| {
    $_template = $params['template']
    $_value = delete($params, 'template')

    notify { 'template':
      message => $_template,
    }
    notify { '_value':
      message => $_value,
    }

    file { $key:
      *       => $_value,
      content => epp($_template),
    }
  }
}

#data/common.yaml
---
profile::files::files:
  '/tmp/foo':
    ensure: file,
    mode: '0644'
    template: 'profile/file_template.epp'

Puppet agent run compains:

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of File[/tmp/foo] failed: You cannot 
specify more than one of content, source, target (file: 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/site/profile/manifests/files.pp, 
line: 15)

When removing the file resource, the notify output looks OK:

Notice: profile/file_template.epp
Notice: /Stage[main]/Profile::Files/Notify[template]/message: defined 'message' 
as 'profile/file_template.epp'
Notice: {"ensure"=>"file,", "mode"=>"0644"}
Notice: /Stage[main]/Profile::Files/Notify[_value]/message: defined 'message' 
as {
  'ensure' => 'file,',
  'mode' => '0644'
}
Notice: Applied catalog in 36.38 seconds

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks,
Martin
