Problem with conditional in a template

[Dan White]

I started with

<% if @agent_environment == "production" then -%>

and this worked.

But then I needed to add a second possibility, so I tried:

<% if (@agent_environment == "production" || @agent_environment == "dmz_production") then -%>

and

<% if ((@agent_environment == "production") || (@agent_environment == "dmz_production")) then -%>

and

<% if (@agent_environment == "production" or @agent_environment == "dmz_production") then -%>

and

<% if ((@agent_environment == "production") or (@agent_environment == "dmz_production")) then -%>

and none of the above will work for either value
My goal is to avoid this:

<% if @agent_environment == "production" then -%>
...code...
<% end -%>

<% if @agent_environment == "dmz_production" then -%>
...duplicate code...
<% end -%>

Suggestions ?

I don't see any reason those wouldn't work, but there must be something.
I tend to use this format as I find it more compact.

if (['dbm','dbs']).include? @role -%>

fwiw, it might be better to move the data into Hiera and skip the if
statements altogether.

Both excellent suggestions.
Moving this into hiera will take a bit of refactoring/untangling, but your code example should help in the meantime.

Thanks.
