Hi Dan,
(sorry for the minor thread-hijack)
What's the difference between $module_name and $caller_module_name?
When I was attempting to use a parser function[1] I wrote to simplify
my argument to the source param in file resources, I tried to assign
$module_name to the name of the module and use
lookupfile($module_name, "cluebringer.conf") and got:
> err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

I didn't know/follow that it was due to $module_name being a special
variable. I had this in my module:
class cbpolicyd {
$module_name = "cbpolicyd"
file {
"/etc/policyd/cluebringer.conf":
group => root,
mode => 0644,
source => lookupfile($module_name, "cluebringer.conf"),
require => Package["cluebringer"],
notify => Service["cbpolicyd"];
}
... multiple file resources ...
}
Now I think I might be able to simplify lookupfile() by assuming
$module_name (or $caller_module_name) as an implicit argument within
lookupfile.rb[1] and thereby having to just use:
> source => lookupfile("cluebringer.conf")
