I've seen a number of times the following error displayed to the end
user:
validate_re(): "" does not match "^true$|^false$" at /p/t/f.pp:40
This is an absolutely horrific error message. I'm to blame for it.
Users stumble over this quite often and they shouldn't have to go read
the code to sort out what's happening.
This patch makes an effort to fix the problem by adding a third,
optional, argument to validate_re(). This third argument will be the
message thrown back in the exception which will be displayed to the end
user.
This sets the stage for nicer error messages coming from modules we
write.
This patch is backwards compatible but is a new feature.
This patch adds a new function to validate if a string is an absolute
filesystem path or not.
The intent of this is to make this functionality generic and reusable.
Josh left a comment in another pull request I had:
If node_installdir or $node_vardir is not defined, then we should
raise an error, otherwise we may create a scheduled task to an
untrusted directory.
One solution to this comment is to validate the Puppet variable is an
absolute path.
Examples of this function look like:
function_validate_absolute_path
Using Puppet::Parser::Scope.new
Garbage inputs
validate_absolute_path(nil) should fail
validate_absolute_path([nil]) should fail

Without this patch every rspec run prints out the directory of the
spec_helper script.
I think this was just a debugging line or whatever that accidentally got
added.
On Windows, we have no folders that match up to the default set of
directories the facter_dot_d fact looks in by default. This is a
problem because the Puppet Enterprise installer writes out the following
facts by default, and our modules require them to be present:
% cat /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer.txt
fact_stomp_port=61613
fact_stomp_server=puppetmaster
fact_is_puppetagent=true
fact_is_puppetmaster=true
fact_is_puppetconsole=true
On windows, the Puppet confdir is quite variable. On 2003 systems we
default to the All Users application data directory. On 2008 systems we
default to the ProgramData directory. The actual configuration
directory varies depending on the Puppet or Puppet Enterprise branding.
In order to simplify all of this variable behavior, this patch fixes the
problem by automatically looking for facts in
`%COMMON_APPDATA%/PuppetLabs/facter/facts.d`
This patch paves the way for the MSI installer to use an IniFile element
to write custom facts during installation.
Without this patch the PE modules don't have a way to identify a
filesystem path where it's OK to place variable data related to managing
the target node. This is a problem when a module like pe_compliance
needs to write a wrapper script to the node's filesystem.
This patch addresses the problem by exposing the node's Puppet[:vardir]
setting as a Facter fact.
This fact value will be set to `nil` if Puppet is not loaded into
memory. If Puppet is loaded, e.g. using `facter --puppet` or using
`puppet agent` or `puppet apply` then the fact will automatically set
the value to Puppet[:vardir]
The value of this setting is subject to Puppet's run_mode.
This patch implements a new utility method in the standard library
module named `Facter::Util::PuppetSettings.with_puppet`. The method
accepts a block and will only invoke the block if the Puppet library is
loaded into the Ruby process. If Puppet is not loaded, the method
always returns nil. This makes it easy to define Facter facts that only
give values if Puppet is loaded in memory.
Without this patch the root_home fact fails on windows. This patch
fixes the problem by only calling methods on the object returned by the
`getent passwd root` command if the object evaluates to true.
Because there is no root account on Windows the code block simply
returns `nil` which makes the Facter fact undefined on Windows
platforms.
The root cause of the failure is that we always expected the command to
succeed and return something useful, and it may not on all supported
platforms.
This function is used to validate a string is less than a maximum length. The
string, or array of strings, is passed as the first argument to the function.
The maximum length of the string is passed as the second argument.
It is useful to validate, for example, that Puppet is not sending a username
to a downstream system that the system cannot cope with, but that might not
cause an error message - for example, MySQL will not accept a username of
more than 16 characters. This enables a Puppet administrator to validate
the data that it may have been passed from upstream through, for example,
Hiera.
* Implement a simple destroy method.
* Add tests for it
* Refactor code, so file is actually read only once. However, due
to the nature how provider tests are run, we need to ensure that
the file is read before we open it to write it.
Without this patch an infinite loop will be entered if the json and
rubygems libraries are not available.
This patch fixes the problem by retrying the `require 'json'` only if
rubygems was successfully loaded for the first time. Subsequent
attempts to load rubygems will cause the LoadError exception from a
missing json library to be re-raised.
Thanks to Krzysztof Wilczynski for pointing out this issue.
Without this patch some valid domain names are not covered in the spec
tests as Stig Sandbeck Mathisen <ssm@debian.org> points out. This patch
adds spec tests for the domains "." and "x.com" which are both valid.
This is an opportunity improvement since I'm in the code. Get rid of
instance variables in the spec test and replace them with a memo let
method block.
Between Ruby 1.8.7 p352 and p357 the way arrays were returned when using
keys and values in Ruby changed, and due to assumption about the
ordering our tests are now failing.
This patch fixes the issue by using the =~ operator matcher in rspec.
This matcher is implemented as RSpec::Matchers::MatchArray and performs
multiset equality matching of arrays. Order doesn't matter, but
duplicate values do.
This patch also switches @scope instance variables to memoized let
methods for clarity in the code.

This commit closes GH-29
The rspec code for the time function was trying to match the type to be a
'Fixnum'. Ruby will sometimes make this a 'Bignum' depending on its internals
and we can't rely on this to be true all the time.
This patch just makes sure the type is an integer instead.
OS X 10.7 introduced salted-SHA512 password hashes as opposed to the
older LANMAN + SHA1 hashes. To assist in generating properly-formatted
password hashes, this commit adds the str2saltedsha512() function which
accepts a single string argument (the password) and returns a
salted-SHA512 password hash which can be fed as the password attribute
of a user resource in OS X 10.7.
Spec tests are also added to ensure that functionality isn't broken with
future commits.
Without this patch the 2.1.x branch does not have a Rakefile like the
2.2.x and master branches do. This is a problem for the continuous
integration testing since it executes `rake test` against 2.1.x, 2.2.x
and master currently.
This patch fixes the problem by copying the Rakefile into place enabling
the `rake test` task.

This patch adds semantic versioning information to the README of this

This should help clarify the support matrix for the Standard Library as
it relates to Puppet Enterprise released versions.

This commit adds a new function called get_module_path.
get_module_path returns the absolute path of a specified module. The
code and functionality is very similar to how templates and files
are detected inside of modules.
the function has been tested against puppet 2.6.10 and 2.7.x
James pointed out this was lacking in my release process document. I've
added a note about the leading v in the annotated tag as per
http://semver.org/
The release process document didn't really mention semver.org or the
rubrics we use to pick version numbers at release. This patch adds some
hints about picking a version number and looking for API breaking
changes to the code.
