ookay.. lots of questions, so you get lots of answers :)
I need a top level validate, not one under a newparam(). I need to ensure
that multiple params are defined, rather than just some of them.
I'm confirming/denying function calling, with big obnoxious lines such as
Puppet.debug(" #### function called here")
1. if I define it in the "type" file, as
validate do
unless self[:fmri] and self[:property] and self[:value]
raise ArgumentError,
"svcprop must have fmri and property and value"
end
end
it works... BUT.. I want to allow multiple providers, and let them pick
which arguments are required
2. If I have a type-file definition. that invokes provider.validate, and
then in the provider file,
def validate
Puppet.debug(" #### Called")
end
It gets called fine.
(What is the difference between "def validate", and "validate do", btw?! )
3. If I have no type-file definition. but just one in the provider file,
similar to above,
it doesnt get called.
I've seen another type (file.rb), call
provider.validate if provider.respond_to?(:validate)
but I dont see its providers doing anything beyond
"def validate
..."
So, I'm baffled.
