Hi,
I am using open source puppet 3.7.3 master and client.
I know how to set noop = true in an individual manifest. For example,
file { "/tmp/testfile1" :
ensure => present,
noop => true
}
Now I am trying a custom function
(http://ryanuber.com/11-06-2012/manage-sets-of-packages-in-puppet.html).
This custom function is called "apply_package_list" and accepts tow
arguments.
I created a new manifest called "pkgcheck" and placed this
apply_package_list.rb in its folder
/etc/puppet/modules/pkgcheck/lib/puppet/parser/functions/
Then I created /etc/puppet/modlues/pkgcheck/manifests/init.pp and
checkpkg.pp.
In checkpkg.pp:
class pkgcheck::checkpkg inherits pkgcheck {
apply_package_list("/root/packagelist","nopurge")
}
It works fine when I run "puppet agent -t" on my client machine. It will
check what package is missing or with incorrect version, then try to update
that package.
Then I tried to use the noop option to disable the update of the package. I
only want to be notified, but don't do anything.
class pkgcheck::checkpkg inherits pkgcheck {
noop => true
apply_package_list("/root/packagelist","nopurge")
}
It doesn't work and returns error when I ran "puppet agent -t" on client
machine:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Syntax error at '=>'; expected '}' at
/etc/puppet/modules/pkgcheck/manifests/checkpkg.pp:6 on node testclient.
I also tried with "$noop = true". This will not give syntax error, but it
doesn't have any effect and puppet will still try to update the package.
If I run this command on client machine, it works fine:
puppet apply --noop -e 'apply_package_list("/root/packagelist", "nopurge")'
Please advise how I can set noop = true for this custom function? This
function has no return value.
Thanks,
Stacey
