Hello puppet Team !
I have trouble upgrading some code from puppet-3.7 to puppet-4.8.
I have a class, a defined type, and a sub-defined type like this :
define mainclass::myress::sub {
# access to :
# $mainclassvar
# $myressvar
}
define mainclass::myress($arga = $title, $argb) {
#access to $arga, $argb, $mainclassvar
#to compute the value of :
$myressvar = ....
# and declare a new ressource
mainclass::myress::sub { "$somethingunique":
...
}
class mainclass {
$mainclassvar = "main"
mainclass::myress { 'myressv1':
argb => '1',
}
mainclass::myress { 'myressv2':
argb => '2',
}
}
So there is two "mainclass::myress" declaration. Each one have a different
value of $myressvar inside the ressource. And each one declare one
"mainclass::myress::sub" ressource. In puppet 3.7 everything works just
like this. And
-> In the "mainclass::myress::sub" déclared by "myressv1" I can access the
value of the "$myressvar" variable of the "myressv1" ressource just by
"$myressvar". So using the "$myressvar" variable inside
"mainclass::myress::sub" I get the value of the parent ressource.
In puppet 4.8 this is not allowed so I need to use maybe fully qualified
name. But I don't know the best practice to access the parent ressources
variables and the parent class variables.
I can pass all the variables by parameters. But there is many value to pass
and they are mainly constants. So how can I do ?
In "mainclass::myress::sub" can I access to the main class variables like
this ?
define mainclass::myress::sub {
$mainvar = $mainclass::mainclassvar
}
Or is this preferable to get the variable first in "mainclass::myress" and
after in "mainclass::myress:sub" ?
And how can I access the "$myressvar" value of the parent ressources ? Is
this works ?
define mainclass::myress::sub {
$mainclassvar = $mainclass::mainclassvar
$myressvar = $mainclass::myress::myressvar
}
Is this a good practice ?
If someone can help me.
Thanks !
Baptiste.
