Problem with usage of arrays

[Roband]

Hi there,

i can't use array in puppet. Here is my codesnipplet:

$callapidata = [ 'wert1','wert2']
notice $callapidata[1]

A puppetrun results in:

Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
can't convert String into Integer at /etc/puppet/myenv/modules/
uc4client/manifests/init.pp:41 on node testnode


Thanks for your help.


Greetings

try something like the following instead of the second line:

notice { $callapidata[1]: }

What version of puppet are you using?

kbarber:~ ken$ puppet --version
2.6.8
kbarber:~ ken$ puppet -e '$callapidata = [ 'wert1','wert2'] notice
$callapidata[1]'
notice: Scope(Class[main]): wert2
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
kbarber:~ ken$

Hi,

I tried

notice { $callapidata[1]: }

=> Same Error:

Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: can't convert String into Integer at /etc/puppet/myenv/modules/uc4client/manifests/init.pp:41 on node testnode

I use version 2.6.1

Addressing array by index is not possible with Version 2.6.1

Unfortunately we can't update our puppet :-(


Tahnk you all for your help.

same problem here:

puppet version is 2.6.1. That's the most recent version available in Ubuntu Maverick (10.10). Any chance, that a more recent version will be available in ubuntu maverick?

I know it's a ugly hack, but this saved me:

$myarray = ['1', '2', '3']

$var0 = inline_template("<%=myarray.split(',')[0]%>")
$var1 = inline_template("<%=myarray.split(',')[1]%>")

Should this be:
$var0 = inline_template("<%=myarray[0]%>")

If this type of feature is needed it can be provided via puppet
function. The examples here
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-functions can provide a jump
start for converting any quick hacks via inline_template to something
that's much more maintainable.

Thanks,

Nan
