Bug #11550: define within a class doesn't use the class's scope
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11550
Author: Daniel Grace
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category:
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9
Keywords: class define template scope
Branch:
I'm trying to do something akin to this to initialize several configuration
files from templates:
<pre>class foo (...) {
$basedir = '/etc/foo'
define foofile ( $path = $title) {
file { "${basedir}/${path}": contents => template($path)
}
foofile { ['file1', 'file2'] }
}</pre>
This fails in all sorts of interesting ways:
* template() will search for the template in the base templates directory,
rather than modules/foo/templates
* Puppet 2.7 complains that $basedir is not local and should be fully
qualified
* If I change template($path) to template("foo/${path}"), the template will
load but again complain about the scope of variables.
If this is not a bug and is by design (quite possible, I'm still very new to
Puppet), it still seems that it'd be very useful to use defines in this context.
