Question related to ignored_environments.yml

Support
1

I've currently got my ignored_environments.yml configured as follows:

:filters:

  • !ruby/regexp '/install$/'
  • !ruby/regexp '/params$/'
  • !ruby/regexp '/config$/'
  • !ruby/regexp '/package$/'
  • !ruby/regexp '/service$/'

This is working great, except I ran into an edge case where I'm trying to
use the puppetdb module provided by puppetlabs. I need to assign the class
puppetdb::master::config to my puppet master, but since I'm filtering out
'/config$/' that class doesn't get imported into foreman. Is there any way
to have foreman NOT filter out that one specific class?

I tried several different things and looked
at /usr/share/foreman/app/models/puppet_class_importer.rb, but nothing
stuck out as the solution.

Could just be that it's Friday afternoon :slight_smile:

Anyone have a suggestion/solution?

It's just a standard ruby regular expression, so this s untested but
something like:

/(?!puppetdb::master::)config/

might work?

Thanks for the suggestion Greg. Unfortunately it didn't work.

After playing around with it a bit more, it seems like I need a lookbehind.

The following regex works:

(?<!puppetdb::master::)config$

Unfortunately, it appears that lookbehinds weren't introduced until ruby
1.9, and since I'm running RHEL 6, I only have ruby 1.8.7.

Any other suggestions?

I've sort of worked around it for now by using the following regex:

/^(?:\w*::)config$/

But this has an undesired effect of only matching classname::config exactly.

I realise this doesn't immediately help, but for 1.2 we're using
software collections (SCL) to provide Ruby 1.9, so hopefully that regex
technique will work then.

Thanks Dominic, I can probably live with this limitation until 1.2 is
released. I assume this is not too far off?

Indeed, we're trying to get a few issues sorted for RC3, so that should
be this week. I don't think there's a need for another RC, so if that's
good, we'll release the final version soon after.
