There are two ways to get external data into a defined type in any reasonably consistent way, and with using built-in methods. Here's an example:

define foo::bar (
  $some_param = lookup('foo::some_hiera_data'),
) {

  include foo::some_class
  notify { 'example':
    message => "A variable from another class: ${foo::some_class::hello}",
  }
}

Haha, fun exercise 🙂 You can separate data and code with https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/function.html#file I find it helps to think about the data "globallly" to transform it: what

file()

return is a String, we can split it to have an Array[String] for each elf, then map that array to build an Array[Array[Integer]] for each elf carry, then reduce it into an Array[Integer] for the sum of each elf carry, and so on. This avoid the difficulty of thinking with counters which value change. Also, a bolt project (

bolt apply

) or a simple manifest (

puppet apply

) can probably help you to run the program more easily.

Good exercise also for writting custom functions, I was surprised there is no

sum()

function 🙃

so that's an anti-pattern to puppet, puppet is designed to take a state you want to get to, and take you there. so the idea of "only change something if you find it is installed" is not how puppet is designed to work, it's designed to have a "I want these installed"

I would look into hiera with lookup options to setup a list by role/location/os version

so you can pass the packages to the provider based on as specific a profile as possible

Hi natemccurdy. How are you? Thanks for code. I am getting a small error: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Method call, 'regsubst' parameter 'target' expects a value of type Array or String, got Struct (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/testsoftware/manifests/init.pp, line: 4, column: 69)

We recommend always using type signatures for class and defined type parameters.

I don’t plan to use bolt (although for what I understood that is the way puppet becomes more procedural, a la Ansible)

Hello , I have a puppet module similar to - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-java_ks , to manage my java keystore . where I have my definition as :-

test_java_ks { "${module_name}:/etc/pki/test/truststore.p12":
  ensure       => present,
  certificate  => '/etc/pki/test/fqdn_cert.crt',
  password     => 'somepass',
  storetype    => 'pkcs12',
  trustcacerts => 'true',
}

I am only trying to change my ensure from

present

to

latest

- However , I am not sure why do I get ensure changed 'present' to 'latest' on a the file when it is already the latest. I understand that it triggers in the first run , but not sure why I get it on each execution . Some logs from debug mode :-

I got 502 from puppet forge just now 🤔

https://adventofcode.com/2022/day/2 Day 2 is out, and I tried to at least improve on the file readability. Let’s see if others have nice nuggets to steal learn from. My code https://osdn.net/users/pier4r/pastebin/9134
