    we use that in other modules with the file resource

    bird?

    I'd still use 
    parsejson
    from stdlib instead. Better to know at compile time than apply time.

    that's nice to catch invalid json. but the verification during apply time checks for the required json attributes and whatever the tool expects
  • v
    more or less a combination of both would fit best..
  • a
    unless $input.parsejson(undef) { fail('custom error message') }
  • a
    If you've got a validate command that understands the json in the context of your application then you could use that too, but whenever there's an easy way to fail at compile time, that's the way to go IMO.

    @bastelfreak after merging https://github.com/voxpupuli/beaker-docker/pull/84 what has to be done to release the gem in a new version?
  • v
    https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/pull/1298 anyone knows what the valid data type of file's content attribute should be?
  • y
    Is there Binary type? I’d expect to manage binary files as well

    Hi, when using the puppet/network module it always fails on the first few runs unless I execute 
    puppet generate types
    on the server first, after installing the module. The error I get is:
    Copy code
    Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Virtual Query, Could not autoload puppet/type/network_config: Could not autoload puppet/provider/network_config/interfaces: no such file to load -- puppetx/filemapper (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/network/manifests/init.pp, line: 79, column: 28)
    It usually take 3 or so runs on the agents to come good. 2 questions: • can I fix this at my end or should this be reported as a bug (though there are a lot of issues on the github page, perhaps the module is becoming abandonware??) I can't imagine I am the only person experiencing this issue.... • what does 
    puppet generate types
    actually do, and why does it fix the issue? Reading https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/man/generate.html doesn't really help me understand as it just says

    • the module is quite old and I recommend using systemd-networkd instead (which can be configured with our puppet/systemd module) • if you deploy your code with r10k, it has an option to generate the types after each deployment • If you don't deploy with r10k, you should • are you mising the filemapper module?
  • b
    the 
    generate types
    generates a kind of class header
  • b
    it's helpful for the environment isolation (having multiple environments with the same module but in different versions)

    @bastelfreak thanks for quick reply! • I know that the module is old, and its usefulness becoming outdated due to network-scripts being optional in CentOS 8 and not at all in CentOS 9 (I use CentOS in my envs), however while I do have a custom class to switch to networkd (as we have discussed elsewhere) I need to continue to support network-scripts for the meantime • I prep and deploy to physically different environment, so using R10k directly is not feasible, though I can add the 
    puppet generate types
    command in my deploy script • I do have the puppet/filemapper module installed, and the issue self-corrects after a few runs, so it seems like a resource actualising/timing thing? I have confirmed this behaviour in different settings • Thanks for adding info for what 
    generate types
    does, but I'm still unclear on why it solves the problem and allows successful runs from the first time
