Setting quotes using augeas type

[Kenton Brede]

I'm using the phpvars lens for a cacti file, trying to set the password.

The file entry should look like:
$database_password = "testpass";

I can successfully set and save the password with quotes, while using augtool:
augtool> set /files/usr/share/cacti/include/config.php/$database_password "\"testpass\""

But when using the augeas type with the following:
changes => 'set \$database_password "\"test\""',

The file entry looks like:
$database_password = \"test\";

I've tried a bunch of escape iterations and quoting options.  So far I've not been able to get this to work properly.

Is there some way I can get this to print the variable with quotes, using puppet/augeas?

Thanks,

Try this (pay attention to what is a single quote and what is a double!):

changes => 'set \$database_password \'"test"\'',

That's one combination I hadn't tried but it works! 

Thanks,
