The self.* methods are class methods, so they shouldn’t generally have access to per-run values like the catalog. How are you setting the path for the file? You could maybe have that process set the path variable on the provider. It might be that there’s a global means of finding the catalog, too — something equivalent to Environment.current or whatever it is — but I can’t remember. — http://puppetlabs.com/ | http://about.me/lak | @puppetmasterd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
