    allthethings 🧑‍🏫Puppet Forge is about to start up in #CFD8Z9A4T
  • v
    k, I have brain freeze today. How one do the same with a selector?
    Copy code
    if $squash_threshold {
        $squash_ensure = present
      } else {
        $squash_ensure = absent
      }
  • v
    This seem kludgy
    Copy code
    $sqash_ensure = $squash_threshold !~ Undef ? {
  true    => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}
  • n
    Here are three ways to do it:
    Copy code
    ## 1
$squash_ensure = $squash_threshold ? {
  true    => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}

## 2
$squash_ensure = if $squash_threshold {
  'present'
} else {
  'absent'
}

## 2 (but on one line)
$squash_ensure = if $squash_threshold { 'present' } else { 'absent' }

## 3
$squash_ensure = bool2str($squash_threshold, 'present', 'absent')

    I got Henrik going on this question a while back. He came up with a one-ish liner

  • v
    I don't think it works, Nate.
    Copy code
    # cat blah.pp 
$squash_threshold = 100

$squash_ensure = $squash_threshold ? {
  true    => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}


notice($squash_ensure)

# puppet apply blah.pp 
Notice: Scope(Class[main]): absent
  • v
    should be present
  • n
    Oh, it’s an integer? Thought it was a bool
  • v
    Copy code
    $squash_threshold !~ Undef ? {
    that works, just don't like how it looks
  • n
    Oh, it’s an integer? Thought it was a bool
  • v
    if value set then present
  • v
    if not - absent
  • v
    parameter is 'Optional'
  • n
    Try the 
    if
    one liner then: 
    $squash_ensure = if $squash_threshold { 'present' } else { 'absent' }
  • v
    right, not a selector though 😎
  • n
    True… but selectors sometimes aren’t the best option.
    Copy code
    $squash_ensure = $squash_threshold =~ NotUndef ? {
  true    => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}
  • n
    True… but selectors sometimes aren’t the best option.
    Copy code
    $squash_ensure = $squash_threshold =~ NotUndef ? {
  true    => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}
  • c
    do you need to compare to Undef?
  • v
    same as mine 
    !~ Undef
  • n
    Copy code
    $squash_ensure = $squash_threshold ? {
  Integer => 'present',
  default => 'absent',
}
  • v
    facepalm

  • k
    oh i kinda hate that
  • c
    How about
    Copy code
    $squash_ensure = $squash_threshold? {
  Undef => 'absent',
  default => 'present',
}
