At the most basic, use the built-in

file

,

exec

, and other "built-in" types: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/type.html Also look at the

stdlib

module which adds

file_line

and some other useful helpers: https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppetlabs/stdlib Find a simple module and see how it works. I have recently been doing a lot of work with the Puppetlabs HAProxy module - it is large, but simple.

I know Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is a bot, but when I post code snippets or output, it often replies with something about Karma (and generally a negative value). What is that about?

Ah, found the code: https://github.com/puppetlabs/bunsen/blob/main/scripts/karma.coffee

I am writing a provider with Ruby and pretty sure I need to do so, as determining the "is" value is done by somewhat complicated HTTP requests to an API (as well as some stuff in the

create

and

destroy

, so I am using

httparty

. I do apologize but still don't understand where to write the steps to determine that "is" value. Cannot find info on that in the documentation.

in the definition you can do

Enum['present', 'absent'] $ensure = 'present'

basically all of the old validate_* functions are now static typing at the class or define level

test

Buh. I have duplicate accounts

Can someone rerun the failed test on https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-haproxy/pull/508?

There is an open bug - https://github.com/puppetlabs/bunsen/issues/4 - and I submitted a PR for a possible fix.

Before I reinvent the wheel poorly, is there an existing fact that shows the CIDR prefix for the default network interface, i.e., if

networking.netmask

is

255.255.255.0

, would return

24

? Pretty sure I’ve seen Puppet functions, but would want to do this in Hiera so I can make a firewalld zone for the local subnet. Might be able to convince firewalld to use the existing dotted quad notation, but the fact that I could put in an invalid netmask without complaint doesn’t give me confidence there.

good day,

I've just wrote a really really basic class to fix some config errors on some legacy hosts, I've just linted the class and it's complaining "ERROR: cfg_fixup not in autoload module layout on line 4 (check: autoloader_layout)" which I don't understand why, the class is called cfg_fixup, the two files in the class init.pp and config.pp are in the right location cfg_fixup/manifiests/{init.pp,config.pp} cfg_fixup maps to init.pp just fine and cfg_fixup::config maps to config.pp just fine, so I don't understand why I'd get this error on linting

to make it bit more weird if I puppet parser validate on the development box (puppet 7) both classes validate fine, if I move them to the puppet master and validate (puppet 6) I get a validation error (similar to the linting warning)

Error: Could not parse for environment production: Unacceptable location. The name 'cfg_fixup' is unacceptable in file '/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/cfg_fixup/manifiests/init.pp' (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/cfg_fixup/manifiests/init.pp, line: 4, column: 1)

but again the class is called cfg_fixup - so that location for init.pp should be fine

what am I missing ?

just spotted a typo I think

that was the problem, spelling typo

re: Ubuntu 22.04, it's in progress, hope to have nightly builds in a week or two and ship packages in the next platform releases (late June/early July). Follow https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PA-4233 for updates.
