Overview

This class holds all the methods for creating and accessing the properties of an external node. There are really only two public methods: initialize and a special version of to_yaml

Constructor Details

#initialize(hostname, classdir = 'classes/', parameterdir = 'parameters/', environmentdir = 'environment/') ⇒ ExternalNode

initialize takes three arguments:

hostname

usually passed in via ARGV but it could be anything

classdir

directory under WORKINGDIR to look for files named after

classes

parameterdir

directory under WORKINGDIR to look for directories to set

parameters

Instance Method Details

#match_classes(fullpath) ⇒ Object

private method - takes a path to look for files, iterates through all readable, regular files it finds, and matches this instance’s @hostname against each line; if any match, the class will be set for this node.

def match_classes(fullpath)
  Dir.foreach(fullpath) do |patternfile|
    filepath = "#{fullpath}/#{patternfile}"
    next unless File.file?(filepath) and
      File.readable?(filepath)
      next if patternfile =~ /^\./
    log("Attempting to match [#{@hostname}] in [#{filepath}]")
    if matched_in_patternfile?(filepath,@hostname)
      @classes << patternfile.to_s
      log("Appended #{patternfile.to_s} to classes instance variable")
    end
  end
end

#match_environment(fullpath) ⇒ Object

match_environment is similar to match_classes but it overwrites any previously set value (usually just the default, ‘production’) with a match

      @environment = patternfile.to_s
      log("Wrote #{patternfile.to_s} to environment instance variable")
    end
  end
end

#match_parameters(fullpath) ⇒ Object

Parameters are handled slightly differently; we make another level of directories to get the parameter name, then use the names of the files contained in there for the values of those parameters.

ex: cat ./parameters/service/production ^prodweb would set parameters = “production” for prodweb001

      end
    end
  end
end

#matched_in_patternfile?(filepath, matchthis) ⇒ Boolean

Private method that expects an absolute path to a file and a string to match - it returns true if the string was matched by any of the lines in the file

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#parse_argv(hostname) ⇒ Object

private method called by initialize which sanity-checks our hostname. good candidate for overriding in a subclass if you need different checks

end

#to_yaml ⇒ Object

to_yaml massages a copy of the object and outputs clean yaml so we don’t feed weird things back to puppet []<
