file_line doesn't work with variables?

[Matt Gieselman]

Given the following snippet from an init.pp file:

          $instance = 22

file_line { 'instance' :

              path => '/etc/init.d/myfile',

              line => 'INSTANCE=$instance',

              match => 'INSTANCE='

}

What I expect to happen is have the line in /etc/init.d/myfile change from INSTANCE=1 to INSTANCE=22, what happens is the file has INSTANCE=$instance any suggestions?

I think you need to double quote strings that contain variables. So try:

    line => "INSTANCE=$instance",
