Re: [Puppet Users] Custom functions what way forward

Hi Baz, There are two APIs for custom types/providers within modern Puppet. The “old” API uses the Puppet::Type.newtype syntax. I gave a talk on this topic a couple of years ago: https://www.slideshare.net/PuppetLabs/puppetconf-2016-moving-from-exec-to-types-and-providers-martin-alfke-example42-g

[Puppet Users] Custom functions what way forward

I am migrating a Puppet 3.x to Puppet 7.x and am having to rewrite alot of the code. This includes a number of custom modules and my first foray into writing custom functions/providers. This is where I am getting stuck as there is not really a lot of information on this. Looking at existing Pup

Re: [Puppet Users] custom functions

OK, so now that I understand where the functions run, I'll write a type / provider. The reason I need to get something custom run on the client is to learn how puppet works at that level. Then once I'm happy with the level of knowledge I will get with customizing puppet, I'll be able to figure out

Re: [Puppet Users] custom functions

Hi, Yes, filename is what is supposed to be there. That's not my issue however though, my issue is that it doesn't load / run properly. If puppet 2.7.6 still does not run functions on the client then that's great, and I'll write a provider, and possibly a type. Chris- On Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at

At first glance (on phone), Check this line: 1. file = File.open(file, 'r+') Don't you want filename as the argument? n Wednesday, April 18, 2012, Chris Donovan wrote: > Hello, > > So I'm working my way through writing custom functions for puppet 2.7.6, > and what I think is valid seem

Hello, So I'm working my way through writing custom functions for puppet 2.7.6, and what I think is valid seems not to be, and unfortunately I can't find any additional help in the docs. I've got a pastebin link (http://pastebin.com/HimPyWHh) that shows my function, site.pp, and the file I'm

Thanks Eric, I am trying to implement some function tests. E.g. in my catalog for node B there is LDAP client, however, I would like to do a test to see if the LDAP server is already up and running. And decide if I want to apply the LDAP Client or not. (This is a test on remote resource, I might a

Re: [Puppet Users] Custom Functions that runs on the Client?

Functions are executed when parsing a manifest, which a client doesn't do -- a client applies a catalog. So it doesn't make sense to run a manifest parser on a client. What is the problem you are trying to solve? On Dec 13, 2010, at 10:37 AM, Yushu Yao wrote: > Hi Experts, > > As far as I can

Hi Experts, As far as I can see custom functions run on the server, right? Is there way to make them run on the Client? Thanks -Yushu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegrou

Hi, I am fairly new to puppet, and my question would be: - is it possible to write new function and use them in standalone mode? According to http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Writing_Your_Own_Functionsfunctions can only be executed on a server, is there any possibility to overcome t

This feature is not supported until 2.6 (and I have seen some issues with 2.6 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4409) . I would recommend either: 1. trying your use case with 2.6 2. keep a single copy of your plugins in the puppetmaster's modulepath. hope this helps, Dan On Wed, Aug 18, 2
