Custom functions from a template?

[Joshua Barratt]

Hi all,

I have things working such that I can call

#init.pp

$myvar = my_custom_func("arguments")

file { "/tmp/foo":

    content => template("mymodule/test_template.erb")

}

# test_template.erb

<%= myvar %>

And all is well.

However, I'd ideally like to say:

#init.pp

$myvar = "some_key_value"

file { "/tmp/foo":

    content => template("mymodule/test_template.erb")

}

# test_template.erb

<%= my_custom_func($myvar) %>

I found this:

http://serverfault.com/questions/34642/call-puppet-function-from-puppet-template

Which showed how to call 'puppet core functions', like

<%= scope.function_template("mymodule/othertemplate.erb") %>

which is kind of cool, but.... scope.function_mycustomfunction doesn't seem to work.

Any magical invocation that will make it work?

Thanks,

Josh
