Hi guys, I am creating a type in custom provider, but I am not able to understand the following question.
I created a basic type to understand the concept of things, as follows: Puppet::Type.newtype(:mydir) do @doc = "First custom type." ensurable do defaultvalues defaultto :present end newparam(:name, :namevar => true) do end newparam(:install_location) do end end After creating the provider, but does not recognize the same and displays the following error: Error: Could not find a suitable provider for mydir Notice: Applied catalog in 0.63 seconds Puppet::Type.type(:mydir).provide(:linux) do defaultfor :operatingsystem => :linux confine :operatingsystem => :linux commands :mkdir => "mkdir" commands :rm => "rm" def exists? Puppet.info("checking if is already deployed") deploy_dir = "#{resource[:install_location]}/#{resource[:name]}" File.directory?(deploy_dir) and Dir.entries(deploy_dir).size > 2 end def create Puppet.info("Deploying the appliction") deploy_dir = "#{resource[:install_location]}/#{resource[:name]}" mkdir('-p', deploy_dir) end def destroy Puppet.info("Removing the appliction") deploy_dir = "#{resource[:install_location]}/#{resource[:name]}" rm('-rf',deploy_dir) end end What I did not envisage is how Puppet identifies the provider to be used in the OS? -- Atenciosamente, Rafael Tomelin skype: rafael.tomelin E-mail: rafael.tome...@gmail.com RHCE - Red Hat Certified Engineer PPT-205 - Puppet Certified Professional 2017 Zabbix - ZABBIX Certified Specialist LPI3 ITIL v3 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
