I came across
recently, and wanted to do something similar in my environment to
automatically fill in a hostlist. I see that
https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman/blob/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/foreman.rb
has changed a bit since the writing of the blog post, so I updated my
syntax and used:
class blah::params {
$foremanArgs = { item => 'hosts',
search => 'hostgroup=Grid',
foreman_url => 'https://foreman',
foreman_user => 'apiuser',
foreman_pass => 'password'
}
$nodes = foreman($foremanArgs)
}
I've tested this query elsewhere using Ruby
(see see https://gist.github.com/patcable/913f29128108d0e716c6), and it
returns the data I would expect.
I have a template:
<% nodes.each do |node| -%>
<% node.each do |key,value| -%>
<%= value['name'] %>
<% end -%>
<% end -%>
Yet, the file it's supposed to create shows up empty.
Am I missing something? Also, how should I specify a greater host return
limit, since the puppet module doesnt seem to have a good way to specify
per_page?
Thanks for any thoughts,

This looks right… Can you add some puppet debug statements ?

This seems a limitation of the current function, it should be extended to
include additional parameters (or accept a parameters hash) like per_page,
order, page etc…
Patches are welcomed 
Thanks!

I did some more debug.
If I call the parameter that directly calls foreman() it works.
<% scope['torque::params::nodes'].each do |node| -%>
<% node.each do |key,value| -%>
<%= value['name'] %>
<% end -%>
<% end -%>
If I try scope['torque::nodes'] no dice. Same for @nodes. Admittedly I'm
not very familiar with adding in more debug options, but am happy to do so
with some guidance.
