This does not work
<pre>
notice(
inline_template("<%= scope.function_extlookup('hello world') %>")
)
Error:
Failed to parse inline template: undefined method `function_extlookup' for
#<Puppet::Parser::Scope:0x7f9df63a0b38> at /home/jls/f.pp:2 on node snack.home
</pre>
Someone on IRC pointed out needing to invoke this:
Puppet::Parser::Functions.autoloader.loadall
Following this instruction, it seems to be the right direction, but still does
not work:
<pre>
notice(
inline_template("<%= Puppet::Parser::Functions.autoloader.loadall;
scope.function_extlookup('hello world') %>")
)
Error:
Failed to parse inline template: extlookup(): wrong number of arguments (11;
must be <= 3) at /home/jls/f.pp:2 on node snack.home
</pre>
Volcane pointed out that extlookup() expects an array, which made the '11'
above pretty obvious as 'hello world'.size == 11.
This version works:
<pre>
notice(
inline_template("<%= Puppet::Parser::Functions.autoloader.loadall;
scope.function_extlookup(['hello world']) %>")
)
Output:
notice: Scope(Class[main]): Hello sir!
</pre>

Two unexpected things. First, that I have to call the extra function loader.
Second, that extlookup in templates requires an array.
Possible fixes: Make extlookup available always. Also, make extlookup check if
the type given is a string, and if so, treat it normally.
Thoughts?
