I reported this issue a while back and Dan submitted it as a ticket. I found that $(this.promiser) wasn't being interpolated in promise comments. Perhaps it is a broader issue that originally thought?

The report was against > 3.0.3, and I *think* it is fixed in 3.0.4 I've been trying to get this working and cannot seem to. Or I don't know what I'm doing which is a frequent thing so bear with me. As of a 3.0.4 source build. I will try SVN in a moment. My goal was to "reduce" the chance for admin typo error in a copy operation by simply referencing $(this.promiser) as the path in copy_from. I've already typed in the path as the promise. Am I missing something basic? files: "/path/to/some/file" copy_from => quick_copy($(this.promiser)); I believe $(this.promiser) as being equal to "/path/to/some/file" in this case. Quick copy just contains the logic for a standard copy of a master to a provided path. basically the same as secure_cp/remote_cp/local_cp in the stdlib. I freely admit I may be "doing this wrong". Since many of my rules are this format, I guess it would also be nice for quick_copy to not even need that as an argument. Am I "doing this wrong" ? Is there a better way to quickly write the promise for a set of files to be copied? -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul Tatarsky p...@tatarsky.com http://www.tatarsky.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine This electronic communication and any attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information of DigitalGlobe, Inc.
