Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4819 Add service for obtaining class information per environment Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/07/06 12:06 PM Fix Versions: PUP 4.3.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg A new service is needed to be able to efficiently obtain information about a list of classes and their parameters in an environment. Before this, close to a full catalog build was required to obtain this information. The new API: Is defined in Puppet::InfoService that has class level methods that defines services A class level method classes_per_environment that produces information about available classes and their parameters The classes_per_environment takes a hash as an argument (with a map of environment name to files) as follows: { 'env1' => [ 'path1/file.pp', ...], 'env2' => [ ... ] } The produced information is (T.B.D) in one of two forms (possibly controlled by a parameter); aggregate, or per file. The aggregate result should look like this: { 'classname' => { 'paramname' => { type => 'puppettype', default_source => '....', default_literal => <OBJECT> }, # next param }, # next class } Where: 'classname' - is the fully qualitfed name of the class as a String 'paramname' - is the name of a parameter in the class as a String 'type' - is the Puppet Type in String form if the parameter is explicitly typed 'default_source' - is the source text that forms the default value _expression_ 'default_literal' - is the default value literal, if the default value _expression_ is a literal _expression_. The value is a numeric, string, boolean, array or hash and for array or hash, the keys and values must be literal (same rule recursively). Invariants: A parameter that has a literal default _expression_ has 'default_literal' set. If a default _expression_ is given and it is not literal, then the 'default_source' value is set. If there is no default value _expression_ (the parameter is required), neither default_source nor default_literal will be set. A parameter that is untyped, and has no default value _expression_ is mapped to an empty hash.
