Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: Using dist for random selections Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,24500,24511#msg-24511
I've been experimenting with using one bundle as a testing bundle for another. For example, the classic configuration file, process and command promises that might make a service like NTP. Typically, one manually breaks services to observe if Cfengine corrects it properly. Instead I'm writing promises that break the service for me. In my testing environment I have continually break and repair the service. Certain test conditions cannot exist at the same time. I cannot corrupt a configuration file and delete it. One method is to randomly choose between these to states. Flipping a coin. Dist appears to be usable but, as stated in my original post, it is awkward and not mathematically fair. Randomint was an alternative but, as the results show it randomizes at every iteration. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
