Jail defaults does not respect path paramater about puppet-jails HOT 6 OPEN

What is the result in your jail config when setting path to '/jails/$name' then?

from puppet-jails.

When I define the following:

jails::defaults:
  path:              '/jails/$name'
jails::jails:
  test:
    host_hostname: 'foo.bar.org'

I end up with a /etc/jail.d/test.conf looking like this:

# File managed by Puppet
# Do not edit manualy as your changes will be overwritten
# and might cause this jail to restart!

# jail definition for test
test {
    path = "/jails/$name";
    host.hostname = "foo.bar.org";
    exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
    exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
}

I think I don't understand the actual issue right here :)

Well you are getting something different than I am getting, and while I am not using hiera, I conceptually have a similar thing that you do. I will take a harder look at the code. I'm in the middle of converting all my jails to this module. I don't see other defaults at all that I am expecting either. For example, the default interface. I have

    class { 'jails':
      defaults => {
        'interface'   => $default_interface,
        'allow_mount' => true,
        'exec_start'  => '/bin/sh /etc/rc',
        'exec_stop'   => '/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown',
        'exec_clean'  => true,
        'mount_devfs' => true,
      }
    }

But in my jails I am missing the mount_devfs, exec_clean, and interface configs. Still digging, but thats what I'm seeing.

    class { 'jails':
      defaults             => {
        'interface'        => $default_interface,
        'allow_mount'      => true,
        'exec_start'       => '/bin/sh /etc/rc',
        'exec_stop'        => '/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown',
        'exec_clean'       => true,
        'mount_devfs'      => true,
        'mount.zfs'        => true,
        'enforce_statfs'   => 1,
        'path'             => '/jails/$name',
        #'allow.socket_af' => true,
      }
    }
  jails::jail { 'graphite1':
    host_hostname => 'graphite1.example',
    ip6_addr      => 'fc00::123',
    ip4_addr      => '192.168.1.10'
  }

Yields the following in /etc/jail.d/graphite1.conf:

graphite1 {
    path = "/jails/$name";
    ip4.addr = "192.168.1.10";
    ip6.addr = "fc00::123";
    host.hostname = "graphite1.example";
    exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
    exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
}

In this example $path is recognized but not the rest of the options in default. Perhaps there is some parse thing going on here. This is odd.

I think I've just learned that defaults are not actually default for anything other than the hiera jails.
