Subquery, regular query difference?

[ak0ska]

Hello,

We wanted to created a query, which would check the hostgroup fact of machines that apply a certain type of resource declared in a certain manifest file. We wanted to use the 'select-resources' subquery as follows:

curl -G -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:8080/v3/facts --data-urlencode 'query=["and",["=","name","hostgroup"], ["in","certname",["extract","certname", ["select-resources", ["and",["=", "type", "Class"],["=","file","/path/to/mymanifest.pp"]]]]]]'

This returns an error: "file is not a queryable object for resources".
According to the documentation, 'select-resources' takes any arguments valid for /v3/resources endpoint.

If we try the arguments of 'select-resources' directly to the resources endpoint, we get valid results:

curl -G -H "Accept: application/json" localhost:8080/v3/resources --data-urlencode 'query=["and",["=", "type", "Class"],["=","file","/path/to/mymanifest.pp"]]'

lists all 'Class' type resources (and properties)  declared in mymanifest.pp.

If we try and query the "title" property, instead of the "file" property it works fine. Did we miss something?

Forgot to mention that it's a PuppetDB issue. ;)

I read the docs the same way you do, and on that basis I see nothing wrong with your query.  I would file a ticket.

Yeah, that looks like a bug Akos. Can you file it?
