install_options =>{$:: variable} -syntax

[Helen Paterson]

Hi,

 

What is the syntax for install_options containing a variable ?

 

This code below works fine,but i'd like to remove D:\BuildAgent\jre'  and replace it with ${::javahome}, what should the syntax be?

 

     

install_options => [

'/s','STATIC=1','JAVAUPDATE=0','AUTOUPDATECHECK=0','INSTALLDIR=D:\BuildAgent\jre' ],

exec { "winfirewalljava":

command =>

"${::posh_cmd} -Command \"netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=Java dir=in action=allow program='D:\\BuildAgent\\jre\\bin\\java.exe' ENABLE=yes\"",

 

   

this does not work

install_options => [

'/s','STATIC=1','JAVAUPDATE=0','AUTOUPDATECHECK=0','INSTALLDIR=\"$::agenthome\"\jre'],

 

Thanks

Helen

Hi Helen,

"INSTALLDIR=${::agenthome}\jre"

Thank you, although that works, it means all other install options are ignored ','JAVAUPDATE=0','AUTOUPDATECHECK=0. as check for updates is enabled

that wouldn't appear to be a puppet related problem. To be safe, though,
can you share the relevant manifest snippet in its current form again?

Thanks,
Felix

I don't use Puppet on Windows, but I observe that the docs' Windows-based example of the install_options parameter (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.stable/type.html#package-attribute-install_options) uses a different structure for options that are name=value pairs.  Perhaps, then, this would work better:

install_options => [
    '/s',
    { 'STATIC' => '1' }',
    { 'JAVAUPDATE' => '0' }',
    { 'AUTOUPDATECHECK' => '0' },
    { 'INSTALLDIR' => "${::javahome}" }
  ],


Note, too, that although Puppet expects you always to use forward slash (/) in your manifests as a file separator in paths, even when the target node is Windows, it does not know or try to guess what install options are paths.  It does no translation on the options, therefore you may need to ensure that paths among your options use Windows-standard backslash (\) file separators in any paths.

Overall, though, Puppet is dependent on the package's installer.  If it ignores certain options when others are specified, then that's out of Puppet's hands.  That's why Felix said the problem doesn't appear to be Puppet-related.
