Module: Puppet::Confiner

Included in:
Network::Format, Provider
Defined in:
lib/puppet/confiner.rb

Instance Method Details

#confine(hash) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Confines a provider to be suitable only under the given conditions. The hash describes a confine using mapping from symbols to values or predicate code.

  • fact_name => value of fact (or array of facts)

  • ‘:exists` => the path to an existing file

  • ‘:true` => a predicate code block returning true

  • ‘:false` => a predicate code block returning false

  • ‘:feature` => name of system feature that must be present

  • ‘:any` => an array of expressions that will be ORed together

Examples:

confine 'os.name' => [:redhat, :fedora]
confine :true { ... }

Parameters:

  • hash (Hash<{Symbol => Object}>) —

    hash of confines

#suitable?(short = true) ⇒ Boolean. Hash

Checks whether this implementation is suitable for the current platform (or returns a summary of all confines if short == false).

Returns:

  • (Boolean. Hash) —

    Returns whether the confines are all valid (if short == true), or a hash of all confines if short == false.
