How to extend a file definition from an existing module in the node?
- by c33s
I use an older version of the example42 mysql module, which defines the mysql.conf file but not its content. Mmy goal is to just include the mysql module and add a content definition in the node.
class mysql {
...
file { "mysql.conf":
path => "${mysql::params::configfile}",
mode => "${mysql::params::configfile_mode}",
owner => "${mysql::params::configfile_owner}",
group => "${mysql::params::configfile_group}",
ensure => present,
require => Package["mysql"],
notify => Service["mysql"],
}
...
}
node xyz
{
include mysql
File["mysql.conf"] { content => template("mymodule/mysql.conf.erb")}
}
The above code produces a "Only subclasses can override parameters"
What is the correct way to just add a content definition to an existing file definition?
