Re: [Puppet Users] How to set noop = true in manifest for custom function?

[staceytian4321]

Hi Rob,

Thank you for the reply.

The missing comma is a type in the post. In my actual test, I had the comma.

I figured out how to enable noop = true for my custom function.

I edited my custom function

from
{:name => package, :ensure => "latest"}
to
{:name => package, :noop => true, :ensure => "latest"}

Thanks,
Stacey.

Re: [Puppet Users] How to set noop = true in manifest for custom function?

[Rob Nelson]

In your second example, you're missing a comma after true. Not sure if
that's bad copy pasta or accurate with the source.

[Puppet Users] How to set noop = true in manifest for custom function?

[staceytian4321]

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
