Globally ignore .svn

[Brian Wilkins]

In Puppet 3.6.2, how do you globally ignore .svn directories? Links on the internet state to put File { ignore => '.svn' } in site.pp but that does not work. I tried putting it in nodes.pp, but I receive the error: "Invalid parameter ignore on File[etc_facter_folder] at <path to manifest> on node <hostname>"

Hi Brian,

Putting that in your site.pp should do it. Perhaps you are using the
wrong site.pp.

I use the following


# Ignoring version control artifacts
File {
backup => 'main',
ignore => [ '.svn',
'.git',
'CVS',
'.bzr' ],
}
