Jira (BOLT-1035) Query Resource states from a plan

[Alex Dreyer (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Alex Dreyer updated an issue   Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-1035 Query Resource states from a plan Change By: Alex Dreyer Users should be able to query resource states from a plan as they can with puppet-resource. Requirements: - Should use plugins from bolt's modulepath - Should search for a singe resource instance or all resources of a given type - Should accept a TargetSpec , get remote info and return a ResultSet. Questions: Is it a function? Yes because we don't have a way for tasks to require pluginsync. Does it run remotely? Yes to support private cloud use cases and local resources on other targets. What is it called?   `get_resources(` and get_resource/list_resources/ fetch_resources, How do you specify the type? get_resources($target, File) How do you specify the instance? get_resources($target_spec, "File[/etc/puppetlabs]") Multiple instances but not all of a type? with get_resources Can you query multiple types are once? get_resources($target, [Package, Service, File[/etc/puppetlabs]]) -> flat list of uniq resources Can you specify a provider? no reason to limit now. What is the value of each result? A list of resource representation(including ref) under the "resources" key of the Result. Out of scope: efficient queries for a sub-set of resource instances better UI when the user has a type and list of names Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
