Are there any news for bookworm packages?

Hi, I'm trying to write a provider to manage open and closed ports with firewalld. I know that a module already exists for that, but it is mostly for learning purpose. However, I encounter 2 issues.

pdk

creates the type and provider with

SimpleProvider

, which is fine. The

delete

method gets a context and a name as parameters, but no

should

, and there is no way to find which port and protocol should be removed. Is there another solution than forcing this information to be stored in the name of the resource? Second issue I have with SimpleProvider is the syntax to use to confine the provider. How to use the equivalent of

:command

and

:confine

that we have in a low-level implementation?

This one seems pretty basic. I can determine if a string occurs in an array. If 'docker.io' in $facts['installed_packages'] But how do I determine if it's not there? If ! docker.io' in $facts['installed_packages'] Doesn't seem to do what I expected

Try:

unless '<http://docker.io|docker.io>' in $facts['installed_packages'] {
  # do something
}

But the actual problem you're hitting is an order of operations issue. If you wrap the

in

expression in parenthesis, it works too. For example:

# This works because of the parenthesis. The ! negates the expression in parenthesis.
if ! ('<http://docker.io|docker.io>' in $facts['installed_packages']) {
  # do something
}

Without the parenthesis, Puppet was evaluating the chain of expressions from left to right like this:

! '<http://docker.io|docker.io>'

then

in $facts['installed_packages']

And

! 'some_string'

evaluates to

false

, so Puppet was actually running:

if false in $facts['installed_packages']

@Andy Fry ☝️

@natemccurdy thanks heaps. Makes perfect sense now. Bit of a brain fart on my end.

The Forge is under maintenance 🔧 https://puppet.statuspage.io/

Thank you guys for all you do.

But it would be nice if there was an actual RSS feed there

no events

meh. I can wait it out one day in a blue moon

https://puppet.statuspage.io/history.rss (under subscribe to updates)

Of course, who even has an RSS reader any more?

I mean, there's atom too

has one

We’ve already determined you live in the dark ages there, @bastelfreak

Well, it's a browser plugin. @Lumiere, that feed is empty

😞

I’m probably missing a basic point here But this lookup works

# puppet lookup classes --node <http://mynodename.mydomain.com|mynodename.mydomain.com>
---
- role_puppetserver

However on the same node when I run

puppet agent -t

I get

Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Lookup of key 'classes' failed: The second element of the merge has wrong type, expects a value of type Scalar or Array, got Undef (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/prod/manifests/site.pp, line: 11, column: 1) on node <http://mynodename.mydomain.com|mynodename.mydomain.com>

I’d recommend digging into that file at that line and seeing what doesn’t make sense.
