#create(data_type, *arguments) ⇒ Object

Creates a new instance of a given data type.

Parameters:

  • data_type (String, Puppet::Pops::Types::PAnyType) —

    the data type as a data type or in String form.

  • arguments (Object) —

    one or more arguments to the called ‘new` function

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    an instance of the given data type, or raises an error if it was not possible to parse data type or create an instance.

  end

end

#evaluate(ast) ⇒ Object

Evaluates an AST obtained from ‘parse_string` or `parse_file` in topscope. If the ast is a `Puppet::Pops::Model::Program` (what is returned from the `parse` methods, any definitions in the program (that is, any function, plan, etc. that is defined will be made available for use).

Parameters:

    loaders.instantiate_definitions(ast, loaders.public_environment_loader)
  end
  internal_evaluator.evaluate(topscope, ast)
end

#evaluate_file(file) ⇒ Object

Evaluates a puppet language file in top scope. The file must exist and contain valid puppet language code or an error is raised.

Parameters:

  • file (Path, String) —

    an absolute path to a file with puppet language code, must exist

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    what the last evaluated expression in the file evaluated to

end

#evaluate_literal(ast) ⇒ Object

Produces a literal value if the AST obtained from ‘parse_string` or `parse_file` does not require any actual evaluation. This method is useful if obtaining an AST that represents literal values; string, integer, float, boolean, regexp, array, hash; for example from having read this from the command line or as values in some file.

Parameters:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

def evaluate_literal(ast)
  catch :not_literal do
    return Puppet::Pops::Evaluator::LiteralEvaluator.new().literal(ast)
  end
  # TRANSLATORS, the 'ast' is the name of a parameter, do not translate
  raise ArgumentError, _("The given 'ast' does not represent a literal value")
end

#evaluate_string(puppet_code, source_file = nil) ⇒ Object

Evaluates a string of puppet language code in top scope. A “source_file” reference to a source can be given - if not an actual file name, by convention the name should be bracketed with < > to indicate it is something symbolic; for example ‘<commandline>` if the string was given on the command line.

If the given ‘puppet_code` is `nil` or an empty string, `nil` is returned, otherwise the result of evaluating the puppet language string. The given string must form a complete and valid expression/statement as an error is raised otherwise. That is, it is not possible to divide a compound expression by line and evaluate each line individually.

Parameters:

  • puppet_code (String, nil) —

    the puppet language code to evaluate, must be a complete expression/statement

  • source_file (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    an optional reference to a source (a file or symbolic name/location)

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    what the ‘puppet_code` evaluates to

    raise ArgumentError, _("The argument 'puppet_code' must be a String, got %{type}") % { type: puppet_code.class }
  end
  evaluate(parse_string(puppet_code, source_file))
end

#function_signature(function_name) ⇒ Puppet::Pal::FunctionSignature

Returns a Puppet::Pal::FunctionSignature object or nil if function is not found The returned FunctionSignature has information about all overloaded signatures of the function

Examples:

using function_signature

# returns true if 'myfunc' is callable with three integer arguments 1, 2, 3
compiler.function_signature('myfunc').callable_with?([1,2,3])

Parameters:

  • function_name (String) —

    the name of the function to get a signature for

  if func = loader.load(:function, function_name)
    return FunctionSignature.new(func.class)
  end
  # Could not find function
  nil
end

#has_catalog? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if this is a compiler that compiles a catalog. This implementation returns ‘false`

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    Boolan false

end

#list_functions(filter_regex = nil, error_collector = nil) ⇒ Array<Puppet::Pops::Loader::TypedName>

Returns an array of TypedName objects for all functions, optionally filtered by a regular expression. The returned array has more information than just the leaf name - the typical thing is to just get the name as showing the following example.

Errors that occur during function discovery will either be logged as warnings or collected by the optional ‘error_collector` array. When provided, it will receive DataTypes::Error instances describing each error in detail and no warnings will be logged.

Examples:

getting the names of all functions

compiler.list_functions.map {|tn| tn.name }

Parameters:

  • filter_regex (Regexp) (defaults to: nil) —

    an optional regexp that filters based on name (matching names are included in the result)

  • error_collector (Array<Puppet::DataTypes::Error>) (defaults to: nil) —

    an optional array that will receive errors during load

Returns:

end

#parse_file(file) ⇒ Puppet::Pops::Model::Program

Parses and validates a puppet language file and returns an instance of Puppet::Pops::Model::Program on success. If the content is not valid an error is raised.

Parameters:

  • file (String) —

    a file with puppet language content to parse and validate

  end
  internal_evaluator.parse_file(file)
end

#parse_string(code_string, source_file = nil) ⇒ Puppet::Pops::Model::Program

Parses and validates a puppet language string and returns an instance of Puppet::Pops::Model::Program on success. If the content is not valid an error is raised.

Parameters:

  • code_string (String) —

    a puppet language string to parse and validate

  • source_file (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    an optional reference to a file or other location in angled brackets

Returns:

  end
  internal_evaluator.parse_string(code_string, source_file)
end

#type(type_string) ⇒ Puppet::Pops::Types::PAnyType

Parses a puppet data type given in String format and returns that type, or raises an error. A type is needed in calls to ‘new` to create an instance of the data type, or to perform type checking of values - typically using `type.instance?(obj)` to check if `obj` is an instance of the type.

Examples:

Verify if obj is an instance of a data type

# evaluates to true
pal.type('Enum[red, blue]').instance?("blue")

Create an instance of a data type

# using an already create type
t = pal.type('Car')
pal.create(t, 'color' => 'black', 'make' => 't-ford')

# letting 'new_object' parse the type from a string
pal.create('Car', 'color' => 'black', 'make' => 't-ford')

Parameters:

  • type_string (String) —

    a puppet language data type

Returns:
