[augeas-devel] Recursive lenses, multiple nested entries : does augeas have an iterator or foreach?

[Aaron Lippold]

Hi Brandon et all,

>From my limited time on the #auges irc I was trying to work this out. I
got some good feedback from fdrabek on the #irc and he suggested I mail
Dave and the list with the question as well.

Hope this snippet helps drive the conversation.

Thanks All,

Aaron

[14:13] <aaronlippold> I was hoping someone could help me work out
something with the recursive lenses.
[14:13] <aaronlippold> I am working with the httpd lense and have
everything working except for working with the <Directory> entries
[14:14] <aaronlippold> I need to get to the idea of 'foreach
<directory>' ensure that 'paramater exists' and is set to 'X'
[14:15] <aaronlippold> Though I am not sure how to do a 'foreach item in
arrary' construct in augeas.
[14:15] <aaronlippold> Anyone had a simular issue?

[14:37] <aaronlippold> Do you know if there is a way when I am using
puppet and auges not to have augeas reload each time puppet uses augeas?
[14:48] <fdrabek> aaronlippold: which programming language do you use?

[14:49] <aaronlippold> fdrabek just using strait puppet content, but for
the most part I use perl
[14:51] <fdrabek> aaronlippold: this is our lens for httpd

[14:52] <fdrabek> aaronlippold: you can list all <directory and all
<directory/param and check if the nr. match
[14:53] <aaronlippold> you updated dlutters lense?
[14:53] <aaronlippold> very cool, do you have a readme.txt with useage
examples
[14:53] <aaronlippold> if not I can just play with it but thought I
would ask if I could RTFM :)
[14:53] <fdrabek> no I just don't know what version of lens is in
release 0.7.1
[14:55] <fdrabek> aaronlippold: we are using java bindings, the code for
apache plugin is here
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=tree;f=modules/plugins/
apache/src;hb=master
[14:55] <aaronlippold> well the issue I face is I need to have puppet
validate that all <directory> entries in my apache conf files (
httpd.conf or other wise included ) have certine paramers set
explicitliy off.
[14:56] <aaronlippold> sounds like this update may get me there
[14:56] <aaronlippold> i was basically running into that whole last+1
issue
[14:57] <aaronlippold> in a since, given i was sure how to tell augeas
to 'iterate' though the resultset of the parent nodes with the directory
title
[14:57] <aaronlippold> if that makes since
[14:58] <fdrabek> sorry I don't know nothing about puppet .. :(
[14:59] <aaronlippold> well either way its an augeas issue, puppet just
delivers my $var to the augeas search :)
[15:00] == You have been marked as being away
[15:01] <fdrabek> you can compare the numbers of /<Directory and
/<Directory/param , problem is the <Directory can be nested in many
<IfModule>
