Overview

This class is abstract.

Defines an abstract Puppet application.

# Usage

To create a new application extend `Puppet::Application`. Derived applications must implement the `main` method and should implement the `summary` and `help` methods in order to be included in `puppet help`, and should define application-specific options. For example:

“` class Puppet::Application::Example < Puppet::Application

def summary
  "My puppet example application"
end

def help
  <<~HELP
  puppet-example(8) -- #{summary}
  ...
  HELP
end

# define arg with a required option
option("--arg ARGUMENT") do |v|
  options[:arg] = v
end

# define arg with an optional option
option("--maybe [ARGUMENT]") do |v|
  options[:maybe] = v
end

# define long and short arg
option("--all", "-a")

def initialize(command_line = Puppet::Util::CommandLine.new)
  super
  @data = {}
end

def main
  # call action
  send(@command_line.args.shift)
end

def read
  # read action
end

def write
  # write action
end

end “`

Puppet defines the following application lifecycle methods that are called in the following order:

## Execution state The class attributes/methods of Puppet::Application serve as a global place to set and query the execution status of the application: stopping, restarting, etc. The setting of the application status does not directly affect its running status; it's assumed that the various components within the application will consult these settings appropriately and affect their own processing accordingly. Control operations (signal handlers and the like) should set the status appropriately to indicate to the overall system that it's the process of stopping or restarting (or just running as usual).

So, if something in your application needs to stop the process, for some reason, you might consider:

“`

def stop_me!
  # indicate that we're stopping
  Puppet::Application.stop!
  # ...do stuff...
end

“`

And, if you have some component that involves a long-running process, you might want to consider:

“`

def my_long_process(giant_list_to_munge)
  giant_list_to_munge.collect do |member|
    # bail if we're stopping
    return if Puppet::Application.stop_requested?
    process_member(member)
  end
end

“`

#initialize(command_line = Puppet::Util::CommandLine.new) ⇒ Application

Initialize the application receiving the Util::CommandLine object containing the application name and arguments.

Parameters:

  • command_line (Puppet::Util::CommandLine) (defaults to: Puppet::Util::CommandLine.new) —

    An instance of the command line to create the application with

.[](name) ⇒ Puppet::Application

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    the lowercase name of the application

Returns:

Raises:

  • (Puppet::Error) —

    if the application class was not found.

  • (LoadError) —

    if there was a problem loading the application file.

end

.available_application_names ⇒ Array<String>

Returns the names of available applications.

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    the names of available applications

Indicates that Puppet::Application believes that it's in usual running run_mode (no stop/restart request currently active).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

.controlled_run(&block) ⇒ Object

Only executes the given block if the run status of Puppet::Application is clear (no restarts, stops, etc. requested). Upon block execution, checks the run status again; if a restart has been requested during the block's execution, then controlled_run will send a new HUP signal to the current process. Thus, long-running background processes can potentially finish their work before a restart.

def controlled_run(&block)
  return unless clear?
  result = block.call
  Process.kill(:HUP, $PID) if restart_requested?
  result
end

.environment_mode(mode_name) ⇒ Object

Sets environment_mode name. When acting as a compiler, the environment mode should be `:local` since the directory must exist to compile the catalog. When acting as an agent, the environment mode should be `:remote` since the Puppet setting refers to an environment directoy on a remote system. The `:not_required` mode is for cases where the application does not need an environment to run.

Parameters:

  • mode_name (Symbol) —

    The name of the environment mode to run in. May be one of `:local`, `:remote`, or `:not_required`. This impacts where the application looks for its specified environment. If `:not_required` or `:remote` are set, the application will not fail if the environment does not exist on the local filesystem.

Raises:

# File 'lib/puppet/application.rb', line 304

def environment_mode(mode_name)
  raise Puppet::Error, _("Invalid environment mode '%{mode_name}'") % { mode_name: mode_name } unless [:local, :remote, :not_required].include?(mode_name)
  @environment_mode = mode_name

# File 'lib/puppet/application.rb', line 564

def self.exit(code)
  exit(code)
end

.find(application_name) ⇒ Class

Finds the class for a given application and loads the class. This does not create an instance of the application, it only gets a handle to the class. The code for the application is expected to live in a ruby file `puppet/application/##name.rb` that is available on the `$LOAD_PATH`.

Parameters:

  • application_name (String) —

    the name of the application to find (eg. “apply”).

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    the Class instance of the application that was found.

Raises:

  • (Puppet::Error) —

    if the application class was not found.

  • (LoadError) —

    if there was a problem loading the application file.

#app_defaults ⇒ Hash<String, String>

Now that the `run_mode` has been resolved, return default settings for the application. Note these values may be overridden when puppet's configuration is loaded later.

#main ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

This method must be overridden and perform whatever action is required for the application. The `command_line` reader contains the actions and arguments.

  • (NotImplementedError)

def name

end

#parse_options ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Options defined with the `option` method are parsed from settings and the command line. Refer to OptionParser documentation for the exact format. Options are parsed as follows:

  • If the option method is given a block, then it will be called whenever the option is encountered in the command-line argument.

  • If the option method has no block, then the default option handler will store the argument in the `options` instance variable.

  • If a given option was not defined by an `option` method, but it exists as a Puppet setting:

    • if `unknown` was used with a block, it will be called with the option name and argument.

    • if `unknown` wasn't used, then the option/argument is handed to Puppet.settings.handlearg for a default behavior.

  • The `-h` and `–help` options are automatically handled by the command line before creating the application.

Options specified on the command line override settings. It is usually not necessary to override this method.
