[* I sent this message to the old gnu.org list, and only got one reply
(with a clever but somewhat hackish workaround), so I'm re-sending it
to the new cfengine.org list in case others have other ideas. *]
I'm trying to split my class definitions into a cfgroups.conf file, so
that my update.conf, cfagent.conf, and cfservd.conf files can all use the
same class definitions (by importing cfgroups.conf). Here are the
stripped-down essentials of what I have (and what's not working).
update.conf has:
import:
any::
cfgroups.conf
control:
any::
AddInstallable = ( corp prod )
corp::
site = ( "needham" )
prod::
site = ( "watertown" )
copy:
any::
/var/cfengine/mf/$(site)
dest=/etc/site
cfgroups.conf has:
groups:
corp = ( machine1 )
prod = ( machine1
machine2
machine3 )
When I try this configuration, cfagent throws an error:
+$ sudo cfagent -q
cf:cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/update.conf:106: faculty/site undefined
variable
cf:cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/update.conf:106: faculty/site undefined
variable
cfengine::/var/cfengine/inputs/cfgroups.conf:Execution terminated after
parsing due to errors in program
I'm not sure what the "faculty" business is about, as that doesn't appear
anywhere in any of my config files, but my interpretation is that cfagent
isn't parsing the variable definitions because the classes aren't defined,
despite my use of AddInstallable.
Is this in fact the right explanation? If so, is it the expected behavior?
If so, is there any way to do what I'm trying to do here? My fallback is
to give up on importing cfgroups.conf, put the class definitions in
cfagent.conf, and make cfservd.conf and update.conf not use any
class-based logic after all.
