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. |

Puppet Labs Standard Library
This module provides a "standard library" of resources for developing Puppet Modules. This modules will include the following additions to Puppet
- Stages
- Facts
- Functions
- Defined resource types
- Types
- Providers
This module is officially curated and provided by Puppet Labs. The modules Puppet Labs writes and distributes will make heavy use of this standard library.
Versions
This module follows semver.org (v1.0.0) versioning guidelines. The standard library module is released as part of Puppet Enterprise and as a result older versions of Puppet Enterprise that Puppet Labs still supports will have bugfix maintenance branches periodically "merged up" into master. The current list of integration branches are:
- v2.1.x (v2.1.1 released in PE 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3, 1.2.4)
- v2.2.x (Never released as part of PE, only to the Forge)
- v2.3.x (Scheduled for next PE feature release)
- master (mainline development branch)
The first Puppet Enterprise version including the stdlib module is Puppet Enterprise 1.2.
Compatibility
stdlib v2.1.x, v2.2.x
v2.1.x and v2.2.x of this module are designed to work with Puppet versions 2.6.x and 2.7.x. There are currently no plans for a Puppet 0.25 standard library module.
stdlib v2.3.x
While not yet released, the standard library may only work with Puppet 2.7.x.
Functions
Please see puppet doc -r function for documentation on each function. The
current list of functions is:
- getvar
- has_key
- loadyaml
- merge.rb
- validate_array
- validate_bool
- validate_hash
- validate_re
- validate_string
validate_hash
$somehash = { 'one' => 'two' }
validate\_hash($somehash)
getvar()
This function aims to look up variables in user-defined namespaces within puppet. Note, if the namespace is a class, it should already be evaluated before the function is used.
$namespace = 'site::data'
include "${namespace}"
$myvar = getvar("${namespace}::myvar")
Facts
Facts in /etc/facter/facts.d and /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d are now loaded
automatically. This is a direct copy of R.I. Pienaar's custom facter fact
