Does create_resources support virtual resources?
Aaron Grewell
I'm interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into
Hiera. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to work the way I
thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources
cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I've read so far don't
address it.
The class (in init.pp):
class users {
$system_users = hiera('system_users')
$system_groups = hiera('system_groups')
create_resources("@users::mkuser",$system_users)
create_resources("@users::mkgroup",$system_groups)
} # class users
The define (in mkuser.pp):
define users::mkuser (
$uid,
$gid = undef,
$group = undef,
$shell = '/bin/bash',
$home = undef,
$ensure = 'present',
$managehome = true,
$dotssh = 'ensure',
$comment = 'created via puppet',
$groups = undef,
$password = undef,
$symlink = undef,
$mode = undef
) {
<SNIP>
}
The error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
could not create resource of unknown type @users::mkuser at
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/configurations/se/environments/development/modules/users/manifests/init.pp:29
Is this the expected behavior, or have I missed something obvious?

Create_resources doesn't support virtual users, but Hiera DOES support hash-merging, so it could find all users in all hierarchies with hiera_hash and then declare them at once.
