Yes, I'm trying to eval puppet code.
In fact this eval function is only part of another function I'm trying
to hack.
The goal is to generate ressources in Puppet from a REST webservice
returning CSV data.
For example, imagine you have a webservice like that listing all your users:
uid;gecos;password
francois;Francois Deppierraz;1234
john;John Doe;5678
Based on that, I want to generate the following ressource *dynamically*.
user {"francois":
ensure => present,
gecos => "Francois Deppierraz",
password => "1234",
}
user {"john":
ensure => present,
gecos => "John Doe",
password => "5678",
}
The current usage of this function is:
class blah {
csv_template "http://mydb/users"; "my-user-template.erb"
}
>From there, a ressource is created for each line (except the header)
using the ERB template.
The only piece I'm missing is how to feed those ressources back into
Puppet. I hope this makes my use case a bit clearer.
