[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Here is the relevant section of def.json that the template should populate from: https://pastebin.com/EYmM67x6
[Nick Anderson, Northern.tech] datastate() includes the defined classes.
[Nick Anderson, Northern.tech] If you prepare a data container for use with a template and you want to also use classes in the template, you need to get the classes into the data structure.

[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] `"_c" data => "@{_s[classes]}";` <-- this wouldn't work?
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] "FINALLY: ${with}" with => format("%S", datastate());
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] I just want to see everything right now.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] yeah, that should work, it’ll be formatted better than
format() would give you as well.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] I use
storejson a lot in reports, with with :)
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] All I get back is this:
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] R: FINALLY: ${with}
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] hmm.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] "FINALLY: ${with}" with => storejson(datastate());
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] It's like I have no datastate().
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] yeah.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] cf-agent -V ?
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Downloaded community version for CentOS 7.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Because it's CentOS 7.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] this is what I have:
bundle agent main
{
reports:
"datastate is ${with}" with => storejson(datastate());
}
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] not sure how that showed in your IRC, but I suspect your example is more complicated. Are you using a namespace by any chance?
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] that’s the only thing I can think of, as to why you get nothing.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] No known use of namespace here. And it displays in IRC as multiple lines in the preformatting that you applied which Slack makes pretty for you. Basically, I see the triple-backticks.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] right. so not terrible but not awesome. good enough ;)
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] if you run that simple policy file does it work with a big pile of json, top-level keys being classes and vars?
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] When I use backticks, does it render for you or do you see the backticks? Like `this`?
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] so no backticks.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Cool.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] I ran your example, I got a big ol' dump of data.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] I'm just going to copy that into my bundle.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] right on.
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] interesting, so many duplicate lines there and no datastate out :(
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] if you just want to see the final result you can add some args to cf-agent like
--show-evaluated-vars and --show-evaluated-classes
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] ;) well… i mean… infinite… that’s a pretty big amount, “to the beginning”?
[Craig Comstock, Northern.tech] where do you have infinite scrollback?
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] In my terminal. Terminator in this case.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] It's just that it dumped the full text of my entire promise library at one point. It was a lot and it was unformatted.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Or at least it looked like the full text. As I said, it was unformatted so I think that's what it was.
[Jeff Carlson, irc.libera.chat] Which apparently included stdlib as well as my own stuff.
