CFPropertyList usage

[Jason Hatman]

I've been looking all over for usage examples for CFPropertyList.  I'm trying to make a test manifest to create a simple plist and it keeps saying that it can't find class CFPropertyList. I downloaded the zip from https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList/ and unzipped it into /etc/puppet/modules/CFPropertyList.  What am I doing wrong?

Here's my example:

class osx_management::testplist {

require 'CFPropertyList' 

cfpropertylist { 'clientidentifier': 
ensure => present, 
path => '/Library/Preferences/ManagedInstallsTest.plist', 
key => 'ClientIdentifier', 
value => '$::sp_serial_number', 
} 

cfpropertylist { 'installapplesoftwareupdates': 
ensure => present, 
path => '/Library/Preferences/ManagedInstallsTest.plist', 
key => 'InstallAppleSoftwareUpdates', 
value => true, 
} 

cfpropertylist { 'softwarerepourl':
ensure => present, 
path => '/Library/Preferences/ManagedInstallsTest.plist', 
key => 'SoftwareRepoURL', 
value => 'http://munkiserver1.orchard.fruit.com/munki_repo', 
} 
}

My experience is puppet doesnt like upper case  in classes, autoloader hates them, so rename the module directory to lowercase.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried making it all lowercase, but I'm getting the same results.

Is that the URL you intended to post?  The project hosted there does not appear to be a Puppet module, but rather a small Ruby library for working with plists.  Putting it into a Puppet module directory does not automagically cause it to provide a custom Puppet type.  At minimum, you have left out some important information.

Perhaps you were looking for this: https://github.com/glarizza/puppet-cfpropertylist ?

Well, that was just ignorance on my part.  I have followed instructions at https://github.com/mosen/puppet-plist and now I'm up and running.  This provider has the ability to use either CFPropertyList or PlistBuddy for plist modification.
