Hi, you want to find out whether a directory exists on a node. This has to be done on the node by using custom facts.
When the master compiles the catalog you want to switch processing of Puppet code depending on the fact result. This means: you have to write a custom fact which best distributed to the nodes. (https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.1/custom_facts.html) This fact will be available as variable on the master during catalog compile. You then want to check for the fact and split stuff. Besides this: you want to tell your node how it should look like. You do not want your node to make decisions what he wants. hth, Martin On 20 Aug 2014, at 13:52, Sneha More <[email protected]> wrote: > Jorge, : > the other way you specified does the same as: > File { " /etc/puppet/test": > ensure => "directory", > } > This will also create a directory if it does not exist. > > Satish: > There must be some reason for which you are checking presence of directory. > So you can add unless condition with exec resource as specified by Jorge to > execute something if the the directory is present or not > > Thanks and Regards, > Sneha More > > > On Wednesday, August 20, 2014 1:19:55 AM UTC+5:30, Flamarion Jorge wrote: > Ok.
