Issue #4920 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs more information to Rejected Assignee set to Nigel Kersten
Martin, I'm rejecting this specific feature request, and have opened up #5158 to bring consistency to the language in this area. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4920: Treat file sources as templates https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4920 Author: martin krafft Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Under certain circumstances, file sources should be evaluated by ERB. I imagine three possible syntax for that: 1. A parameter: <pre> file { "/tmp/file": source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "puppet:///somedefault"], erbeval => true } </pre> 2. A prefix: <pre> file { "/tmp/file": source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "erb:puppet:///somedefault"], } </pre> 3. Using the file extension: <pre> file { "/tmp/file": source => ["puppet:///$fqdn", "puppet:///somedefault.erb"], } </pre> In general, I would like to see the difference between files and templates vanish. However, since ERB is dreadfully slow, that might not be desired. Hence I would suggest a combination of (1.) and (2.) (stupid redmine syntax parsing idiocy): erbeval defaults to false, in which case only the sources prefixed with "erb:" are evaluated. If erbeval is true, all sources are evaluated (and the prefix ignored). If wanted, a "noerb:" could also be introduced. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
