okay it works.
Like this:
- technique has a parameter, e.g. "(true|false)"
- technique has a variable. with arbitrary prefix (but MUST NOT BE technique ID!),
arbitrary name and the value of the parameter as in ${parameter_name} - in a "Condition from variable match" an arbitrary prefix (MUST NOT BE the same than the prefix above though, neither the technique ID!)
the full variable name and the expected match ("true") - and than I can use the var_prefix_true condition to decide on action (copy or not)
yepp it could be easier - but at least for now it's working
keep the "condition from parameter" a regex match though ;-)
command execution
cfengine template is working.
I looked through the "file from junjia2 template" docu and saw the reference
to jinja2_custom.py.
Not only that file is missing, but I even don't have a folder "10_ncf_internals".
Is that not included in the community version or am I missing something?
@Fdall : sorry for late reply, got distracted yesterday.
yes python-jinja2 is installed everywhere.
Fixed it temporary by falling back to cfengine template style but would like to use jinja2 in general.
If I remember the rudder agent run -v output it seemed
that rudder(well underlying cf3) tried to open the template - which here ends on the name .json !!! as json data - resulting in "no data received" or so.
And while computing prefix and varname it moaned that destination would not be empty resulting in a failed condition (could try to recreate to be more precise)
What I want is to read the data via parameter from the technique and replace
{{ vars.my_prefix.varname }} in the .json template.
Could it be that tempalte (which is downloaded to sys.workdir/templates and shall be expanded into a file somewhere else) and target file need different names? need the template to end in .jinja2 to be recognized by some lib? (late toughts from yesterday eve ;-)
"Presence of package vim in any version could not be repaired". Vim is already installed on this node, but in the yum framework, it is called vim-common or vim-enhanced (there is no package called only "vim"). When uninstalling it, the rudder agent re-installs it correctly, but still complains with the error above. Could this be because "vim" is (maybe) a virtual package?
Any hint where to keep looking for this jinja template question?
