---------------------------------------- Feature #5158: File resources: Make source/content parameters and the file/template functions consistent. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5158 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: Category: Target version: Statler Affected Puppet version: Keywords: usability Branch: We have four main ways we can specify file content in a file resource. 1. The source parameter 2. The content parameter 3. The file function 4. The template function These behave inconsistently in the following ways. The source parameter, file function and template function all can take an array. For source/file, the first file that exists will be used. For the template function, we concatenate the templates instead. The file function takes fully qualified paths only. The template function takes fully qualified paths, or dereferences relative paths as follows. 'foo/bar.erb' -> modules/foo/templates/bar.erb The latter problem is relatively easily solved, particularly if we implement #4885 We are going to have to break backwards compatibility to solve the first problem however. My feeling is that more people make use of the multi-select logic in the source parameter/file function than make use of the concatenation of the template function. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
