PR #156 merged a base class called `inifile` that dynamically queried
hiera using explicit `hiera_hash()` functions and required functions
from stdlib.
It is an anti-pattern for component classes to contain hiera
functions (even ones that do not trigger under all circumstances) as
this leads to tight-coupling with hiera data structures. It also
promotes the anti-pattern of declaring resources directly in hiera.
Also, inifile is not going to receive a major version increase for a
while (we hope) and so adding a dependency is not desirable at this
point.
Unfortunately this feedback was missed while reviewing the original PR,
so it has to be reverted.
Empty sections hanging around are not useful, so if the last line in a
section is removed then remove the section. If the section still has
comments, then just leave it be.
This does not add the ability to remove sections that do not have
settings to begin with; only allows cleaning a file as puppet makes
changes to it.
Puppet 4.0 and 4.1 are affected by PUP-4709 which raises duplicate
resource errors when using create_ini_settings(), due to the inclusion
of square brackets in the resource titles.
Error while evaluating a Function Call, Duplicate
declaration: Ini_setting[[foo] bar] is already declared; cannot
redeclare
Removing these from the function allows it to work on these Puppet
versions without error.
type file
show_diff => true (default) prints diff to logs
show_diff => md5 prints only md5 hashes instead of actual values
show_diff => false redacts any information about values
Global show_diff config takes priotiry over this one.
This added functionality allows you to specify hashes for ini_setting
and ini_subsetting so that they might be stored in Hiera. Without this
patch, you need to use ini_setting and ini_subsetting resources strictly
in code whereas with this patch, you could describe this in Hiera.
Update descriptions of the `section` parameter and the `setting`
parameter in `ini_setting` to match the descriptions in
`ini_subsetting`. Commit af78845 erroneously updated the README
description for the `setting` parameter with a description intended for
the `section` parameter.
Currently the create_ini_settings function creates an ini_setting with a
title comprised of the section and setting names. This means that we
run into resource conflicts when defining the same section/setting
combinations but in different files. Since the path parameter is
required, we can safely add this to the title of the ini_setting
resource created by the create_ini_settings function. This commit does
just that.
Previously, trying to use a space as a key_val_separator in the ini_setting
type would fail because #strip is being called on the key_val_separator
attribute, which completely kills the space. This commit checks to see
if key_val_separator has been set as a space, and, if so, sets the `k_v_s`
variable in the library to be ' ' instead of ''. This in turn allows the
provider to check for existing values (instead of inserting the value every
time Puppet is run).
