Hi, Seems it is not possible, well, I cannot make it work.
Depending on some class parameter, some exported resources should be collected or not. eg. class X ( $collect_tags = ['cond1', 'cond2'] ) { $my_cond = my_magic_function($collect_tags) # returns the string "tag == 'cond1' or tag=='cond2'" My_exp_res <<| $my_cond |>> } But the only result I get : Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '|>>'; expected '}' Whatever i tried, nothing gave me the desired result. Using single quotes, double quotes, escaping quotes .... And <<| tag == $collect_tags |>> ( <<| tag == ['cond1','cond2'] |>> does not give me the desired result, only one exported resource is collected. But I try to ovoid this, because the behavior of this i unpredictable, as documented in the docs. I already I'm a big fan of iteration, but this needs to work on puppet 3.[7|8].x For now I will change my parameter to a single string and us an if clause like ... if ( $collect_tag =~ /all$/ ) { My_exp_res <<| |>> } else { My_exp_res <<| tag == $collect_tag >> } I will loose the ability to collect on multiple nodes this way, but we can live with this for the moment. Peeking to puppetdbquery as an alternative ....
