Hello jcbollinger,
I am actually trying to read the array into a
variable and passsing that variable as the content of a file like below,
file{'/tmp/nish_lat':
ensure=>file,
content=>hiera('users'),
}
My intention was to just get a way to read the array from
a file, so that I can pass it to a define resource , where it can be used
to create a no of resources, as there are no loops available in puppet.
I have tried using your method of notifying, but it sends out
an error
Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse inline template:
undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass
I am actually new to puppet and my work as of now is to be
able to create a no of users on a machine based on the information passed
to it from a file.
Thanks,
Nishant
