Issue #5045 has been updated by Paul Berry. Keywords set to parameterized_classes
---------------------------------------- Bug #5045: External node classifiers should be able to specify parameters for parameterized classes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5045 Author: Paul Berry Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Paul Berry Category: language Target version: 2.6.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: parameterized_classes Branch: Currently, parameterized classes cannot be invoked by an external node classifier because there is no way to specify parameters. For example: Manifest: <pre> class foo($customizeable_file_name) { file { $customizeable_file_name: ensure => present } } </pre> Data output by external node classifier: <pre> --- parameters: {} classes: - foo </pre> This produces the error message: <pre> Must pass customizeable_file_name to Class[Foo] at ... </pre> I propose that we change the format for data returned by the external node classifier so that "classes" is a hash rather than an array, where each key is a class to invoke, and the corresponding value is a hash of parameters to pass to the class. Non-parameterized classes can use a value of either {} or nil. For example: <pre> --- parameters: {} classes: parameterized_class: param: value normal_class_1: {} normal_class_2: </pre> For backward compatibility we should also support the old format; if "classes" is an array, then all the classes are interpreted as taking no parameters. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
