You'll need to create a custom fact that contains the path. This can be
done in ruby like:
Facter.add(:local_appdata) do
confine :kernel => :windows
setcode do
require 'win32/dir'
Dir::LOCAL_APPDATA
end
or whichever well-known folder you're looking for. The constants are
defined in the win32-dir gem[1]. Then in your manifest, you would need to
do:
path => $::local_appdata
Note that you need specify the complete path for the process, not just a
single directory. For example, if you apply the following resource:
exec { 'c:\windows\sysnative\cmd.exe /c echo %PATH%':
path => 'c:\windows\system32',
logoutput => true
}
You'll see that PATH for the process is only 'c:\windows\system32':
C:\>puppet apply c:\path.pp
...
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Exec[c:\windows\sysnative\cmd.exe /c echo
%PATH%]/returns: c:\windows\system32
So you'll want to do something like:
path => $::local_appdata;$path
where `$path` refers to the built-in fact[2].
