not able to comment line using file_line resource

[Supriya Uppalapati]

Hi,

 

I did like this using file_line resource

file_line { 'replace a line to /home/infauser/.bash_profile':
      path => '/home/infauser/.bash_profile',
      line => 'export INFA_CODEPAGENAME=UTF-8',
      #match => '^# export INFA_CODEPAGENAME=UTF-8.*',

 

But it is giving me an error:

 

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Validation of File_line[replace a line to /home/infauser/.bash_profile] failed: When providing a 'match' parameter, the value must be a regex that matches against the value of your 'line' parameter at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/development/modules/powercenter/manifests/init.pp:75
Wrapped exception:
When providing a 'match' parameter, the value must be a regex that matches against the value of your 'line' parameter

 

 

It is not adding # to the starting of the line.

 

Please help me

Your "match" regexp must match the line *both* before *and* after
the change.

I.e.,

match => 'export INFA_CODEPAGENAME=UTF-8',

will probably work. If .bash_profile doesn't have that line yet, it
is added.

HTH,
