Jira (PUP-10139) Deferring template rendering is awkward

Title: Message Title

Ben Ford created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10139 Deferring template rendering is awkward Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/11/13 11:37 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Ben Ford Currently users have to jump through awkward hoops to render secrets agent side: $variables = { 'password' => Deferred('vault_lookup::lookup', ["secret/test", 'https://vault.docker:8200']), }   # compile the template source into the catalog file { '/etc/secrets.conf': ensure => file, content => Deferred('inline_epp', [file('mymodule/secrets.conf.epp'), $variables]), } The problem with the solution is that the template file has to be stored in the files directory and that's super unintuitive. After some conversation in Slack, I'm proposing a find_template() function that would make this make a lot more sense. $variables = { 'password' => Deferred('vault_lookup::lookup', ["secret/test", 'https://vault.docker:8200']), }   # compile the template source into the catalog file { '/etc/secrets.conf': ensure => file, content => Deferred('inline_epp', [find_template('mymodule/secrets.conf.epp').file, $variables]), } 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.
