Accessing the list of classes assigned to a node from within puppet

[John Warburton]

Hi Everyone

Back in the day of 2.x/3.x, I used to access the "classes" top scope variable and dump into templates - like this.

I can't see to find the equivalent in puppet 6.x. Nothing in the built in variables doc

Am I looking in the wrong place or do I have to try and access through the internal API?

Thanks

John

How about a variation on this :

# In site.pp, outside of any node definitions and below any top-scope variables: lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique').include

Lose the “include” and you have :

$class_list = lookup('classes', Array[String], 'unique')

Thanks Dan

But we are not using an ENC, so "classes" is not set. The lookup in site.pp yields:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Function lookup() did not find a value for the name 'classes'

I am programatically looking for the content of /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/state/classes.txt

Thanks for looking

Regards

John
