Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:25 PMIs there a way of depending on a job that comes in from voxpupuli/gha-puppet/.github/workflows/basic.yml@v1 - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:25 PMor do I just depend on the 'Puppet' job...??? - v

VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:26 PMcan you depend on a job from a shared workflow - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:28 PMI'm also not sure if you can access the variables from the shared workflow - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:29 PMbastelfreak: yes, I know that now but that wasn't a thing back then - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:29 PMI need to do something similar to voxpupuli/gha-puppet/.github/workflows/basic.yml@v1 but I think that preexisted the shared workflows and didn't look too DRY. - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:29 PMewoud: ah okay - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:29 PMafisher: doesn't needs: puppet work? - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:29 PMafisher: and I don't think you can get outputs from a workflow inside a reusable workflow, though I've never tried - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:30 PMafisher: I just copied the whole workflow, but I like the idea of reusing at least part of it - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:30 PMCan I just add steps to an imported/reuseable workflow instead? - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:30 PM:wq - a

05/25/2023, 3:31 PMor... Slack isn't even allowed on my corporate laptop anymore...➕ 1 - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:32 PMbooooooooh corporate! - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:33 PMafisher: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-vault_lookup/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci.yml comes to mind as a similar setup where it uses a custom setfile - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:33 PMwe did fight to get puppetserver to run in a container and then link to it - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:34 PMhttps://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-containerized-services/about-service-containers would that be a solution? - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:34 PMyeah, I'm trying to do something similar and run openldap in a container. Any function unit tests really aren't that much use here IMO. - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:35 PMIs that new? - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:35 PMnot really - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:35 PMif that works, we can extend gha-puppet to accept a services parameter where you pass that in - a
Alex Fisher
05/25/2023, 3:36 PMok, well that looks a lot neater. Maybe there was a good reason that couldn't be done for the gitlab_runner module, but I can try that approach here instead. Sounds much easier than messing around with facts and modifying /etc/hosts etc. - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:37 PMI had problems connecting from a beaker container to another container in vault_lookup, so be warned - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:38 PMmhm Robert Waffen and I might have fixed that - v
VoxBot
05/25/2023, 3:38 PMwe did some changes in beaker-docker
