I’m trying to avoid using Hiera to set parameter values for my classes, and I’m getting stuck in one spot. An example is probably the easiest way to explain.
I have a class that looks like this:
class class1($param1 = 1) {
include ‘class2’
}
And then:
class class2($param2 = 1) {
#do nothing
}
As you can see, since I’m using the include-style syntax for class2, I can’t specify the value for $param2 inside class1 definition - this could normally be done via Hiera, and I’m trying to use Foreman to do it instead.
class1 is assigned to my node group. After importing my classes, I see both class1 and class2 in Foreman, and I see both param1 and param2 in the smart class parameter list.
I can use theForeman UI to override and provide a value for class1::param1, no problem. But I can’t figure out how to do it for param2.
I tried overriding the value in the smart class parameter list for class2:param2 but that doesn’t work. Looking at my node’s YAML, it doesn’t even contain param2.
Do I have to revert to the resource-like declaration for class2 and explicitly pass in a parameter value (which means I’d have to amend class1’s definition to include an extra parameter for param2)? Do I have to assign class2 to my node as well?
I’m fairly new to this so forgive me if I’m overlooking something obvious, but thank you for the help!
