Josh Cooper commented on PUP-11514   Re: Extract elements from resource collector Per hlindberg's comment in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6712?focusedCommentId=348572&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-348572, "[collectors do] not produce a value that can be used in the language", so I don't believe we'd want to try to do that. Can you use puppetdb_query (or another function) to retrieve/filter/iterate on resources? It's also possible to iterate resources in the catalog directly, provided you know their names: $ bx puppet apply -e 'notify { "a": } notify { "b": } ["a", "b"].each |$n| { notice(Notify[$n]) }' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): Notify['a'] Notice: Scope(Class[main]): Notify['b'] We've talked about a more general "query" see https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7541?focusedCommentId=715166&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-715166 Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.2#820002-sha1:829506d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
