Hello Xavier,

 

 

I was going to say that was not possible, but I actually (to my great surprise) found a way to do it:

 

    augtool> touch /files/etc/fstab/01

    augtool> rename /files/etc/fstab/01 ""

    rename : /files/etc/fstab/01 to  1

    augtool> save

    Saved 1 file(s)

 

Just added an empty line at the end of /etc/fstab

 

 

Cheers,

 

Raphaël

Hello Augeas experts,

is there a way to insert empty nodes in an Augeas tree? I've made a lens, that expects an empty line as last part (Util.empty), which works fine with existing files. However, when inserting a new node in the tree with that lens, the closing empty line is missing. Do I need to have a labelled node in the tree without value or children, that simply puts an empty line in the resulting string instead?

Thank you for your time,
Xavier.
