Hi,
I'm trying to write a custom function to get the primary group of a given user.
The following works in plain Ruby:
def primary_group_of(user:)
require 'etc'
return Etc.getgrgid(Etc.getpwnam(user).gid).name
end
puts primary_group_of(user: 'username' )
Translated into a Puppet function, it looks like:
Puppet::Functions.create_function(:'mylib::primary_group_of') do
dispatch :primary_group_of do
param 'String', :user
end
def primary_group_of(user)
require 'etc'
return Etc.getgrgid(Etc.getpwnam(user).gid).name
end
end
But this, when executed from within a simple file resource like this
class testing {
file { '/tmp/test':
content => 'foo',
owner => 'username',
group => mylib::primary_group_of('username'),
}
}
Only yields: "...Error while evaluating a Function Call, undefined method `gid'
for nil:NilClass..."
Any hints as to what could be wrong here? Seems it doesn't do the "require",
but I'm not sure. Documentation doesn't say anything about using Ruby library
modules.
Thanks...
Dirk
