Method: Puppet::Indirector#indirects

Defined in:
lib/puppet/indirector.rb

#indirects(indirection, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Declare that the including class indirects its methods to this terminus. The terminus name must be the name of a Puppet default, not the value – if it’s the value, then it gets evaluated at parse time, which is before the user has had a chance to override it.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
