I need some Ruby help: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/lib/puppet/provider/apt_key/apt_key.rb#L194

does

false && true

evaluate to true or false?

should be false from my understanding..

AND gives you true only if both args are true

Hint: I’m using

irb

to check if I’m not sure

Which means that the first if clause will never be used?

.nil?

and `""`/`{}`/`[]` are different

I’m not sure what is the value there usually

source has a value, content does not have a value

let me craft something in irb

sorry, my asdf ruby installation seems broken.. reinstalling 🙂

actually, yes, if either

source

or

content

is set 1st clause is not used

though

source

or

content

can be set to an empty value.. then I’m not sure where it’ll end up (one of those elsifs or else)

added an integration to this channel: linen.dev

use the pattern in @Yorokobi example and all will be zen

part of my issue earlier was that the puppet documentation mentions that the 'elseif' is 'elsif' https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_conditional.html

I don't see

elseif

in that document.

what I meant was elsif doesn't work. but, moving on! now that I've got my conditional statement hammered out (thanks @natemccurdy!) how do I insert my '$vip' variable into a file? I've tried this every way I can find on the internet. Here's my latest attempt file_line { "/etc/rc.conf": # line => 'ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret 192.168.1.245/24" ', line => 'ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret %{vip}" ', path => "/etc/rc.conf", } and results of all attempts: ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret 192.168.1.245/24" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret $vip" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret ${vip}" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret $::{vip}" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret %{::vip}" ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet vhid 10 pass supersecret %{vip}"

short answer - you don't :)

manage file in it's entirety is the best approach

if rc.conf is an ini file, you can use puppetlabs/inifile

See the

puppetlabs-inifile

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/inifile?src=slack&channel=puppet

but...but...all my servers will require an entirely seperate file, isn't the whole point of heira is to variabilize the one or two things in a file that are different?

and that's not a point of hiera

that what templates are for

good reading - https://dev.to/camptocamp-ops/how-to-manage-files-with-puppet-55e4

Is it possible to use a settings value inside a manifest to be able to reference Puppet config? I am looking at using

file_line

to set value in

puppet.conf

, can I use the

$confdir

or

$config

values for the file path?

We previously used

::settings::confdir

but I don't know if that is supported
