question about file {} type

[Stuart Cracraft]

My class reads like:

class name1::name2 ($gidvariable) {

  file { "somepath-to-file":

     ensure => file,

     mode => '0640',

     gid => $gidvariable,

 }

}

The problem is that the file isn't getting set to the $gidvariable's value

which is a string "abc".

The other things work (presence as file, mode).

Gid should be a number?

I had wrongly assumed gid, from user type would apply to file type {}.

group => $variable

fixed the issue.

Thanks.

Try group instead of gid.

I chose "group => $groupname" instead.
