I've got a bit stuck trying to implement something in Puppet. I'm hoping
I'm just looking at it the wrong way and somebody can point me in the
right direction :-)
So here's what I have. A definition that creates a site (it doesn't
really matter what it's creating):
define mymodule::site ($path) {
# ... do some stuff ...
}
mymodule::site { 'sitename':
path => '/some/path',
}
This is fine. But what I want to do is create an arbitrary set of
symlinks along with the site. So I extend it something like this:
define mymodule::site ($path, $links) {
# ... do some stuff ...
mymodule::links { $links:
path => $path,
}
}
define mymodule::links () {
# create a link: $name -> $path
}
mymodule::site { 'sitename':
path => '/some/path',
links => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
}
So this works. It creates my site, and calls mymodule::links for each link
separately.
The problem comes if I want to call mymodule::links with more than just
one changing parameter (I'm using $name above). I'd like to be able to
do something like this, but can't see how to make it work:
mymodule::site { 'sitename':
path => '/some/path',
links => [ { 'link1' => 'target1' }, { 'link2' => 'target2' }, ],
}
But you can't pass a hash in through $name, and I can't see how I can
pass separate parameters each call of the definition. I'd like a for
loop really!
Any pointers? Am I looking at this completely the wrong way?
The only alternative I've come up with is to just manually create the
links with file resources where I call mymodule::site, but I ideally
wanted to encapsulate all the behaviour within the module.
Thanks in advance,
Tim.
