problem with File[path]

[Peter Romfeld]

hi,

i get the following error:

Parameter path failed on File[${nagiospluginsdir}/${pname}]: File paths must be fully qualified, not '${nagiospluginsdir}/${pname}'

plugin.pp:

define nrpeplugins::plugin(

  $nagiospluginsdir = $nrpeplugins::params::nagiospluginsdir,

  $nrpepluginsdir = $nrpeplugins::params::nrpepluginsdir,

  $nrpeservice = $nrpeplugins::params::nrpeservice,

  $pname = $title

) {

  file { '${nrpepluginsdir}/${pname}.cfg':

#  file { 'newnrpe':

#    path => '${nrpepluginsdir}/${pname}.cfg',

    ensure => file,

    owner => root,

    group => root,

    mode => '0644',

    content => template('nrpeplugins/nrped.erb'),

    notify => Service['${nrpeservice}']

  }

  file { '${nagiospluginsdir}/${pname}':

#  file { 'newscript':

#    path => '${nagiospluginsdir}/${pname}',

    ensure => file,

    owner => root,

    group => root,

    mode => '0755',

    source  => 'puppet:///modules/nrpeplugins/${pname}'

  }

}

thanks,

peter

You're getting the error because you've used single quotes in the file definition. If you want puppet to interpret variables when it compiles the catalog, you must use double quotes.

wow thanks so much for the fast answer!

im used from python that single or double quote means the same :)
