Getting Puppet module version

[Pablo Baeyens]

Hi,

I want to get the version of a module (as it appears in metadata.json) to use inside the Puppet module.

Is there any variable/fact/function with which I can do this easily?

A previous question on ask.puppet.com suggests just accessing and parsing the json file, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Thank you in advance,

Yours,

Pablo

Hi,
puppetlabs-stdlib has a function to parse the metadata: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/blob/master/REFERENCE.md#load_module_metadata

cheers, Tim

Just what I was looking for, thank you!
