Augeas-1.5.0 to edit file using Puppet

[Shrawan Bhagwat]

Hi All,

I have configured Puppet 3.8.1 and Augeas 1.5.0.

I am trying to edit /etc/hosts file using augeas with following code:

augeas{'host_file':

                context => "/files/etc/hosts",

                changes => [

          "set ipaddr 192.168.0.1",

          "set canonical pigiron.example.com",

          "set alias[1] pigiron",

          "set alias[2] piggy",

    ],

}

When i am applying this config on Node, it's giving following error:

Error: /Stage[main]/Aug_mod::Configuration_files/Augeas[host_file]: Could not evaluate: undefined method `set' for #<Augeas:0x7f941d460da8>

Please guide.

Is there any reason you're not using the built-in 'host' type? For example, this adds an entry to /etc/hosts:

  host {'north.xyz.com':

    ip => '192.168.100.2',

    host_aliases => [

      'north', 'main-switch'

    ],

  }

Thanks Peter. It worked for me.

Hi Peter,

Is commenting and uncommenting any line using Augeas is possible? if so, how?
