Public Class Methods

execfail(command, exception) click to toggle source

Wraps execution of {execute} with mapping of exception to given exception (and output as argument). @raise [exception] under same conditions as {execute}, but raises the given `exception` with the output as argument @return (see execute) @api public

# File lib/puppet/util/execution.rb, line 101
def self.execfail(command, exception)
  output = execute(command)
  return output
rescue Puppet::ExecutionFailure
  raise exception, output, exception.backtrace
end
execpipe(command, failonfail = true) { |pipe| ... } click to toggle source

The command can be a simple string, which is executed as-is, or an Array, which is treated as a set of command arguments to pass through.

In either case, the command is passed directly to the shell, STDOUT and STDERR are connected together, and STDOUT will be streamed to the yielded pipe.

@param command [String, Array<String>] the command to execute as one string,

or as parts in an array. The parts of the array are joined with one
separating space between each entry when converting to the command line
string to execute.

@param failonfail [Boolean] (true) if the execution should fail with

Exception on failure or not.

@yield [pipe] to a block executing a subprocess @yieldparam pipe [IO] the opened pipe @yieldreturn [String] the output to return @raise [Puppet::ExecutionFailure] if the executed chiled process did not

exit with status == 0 and `failonfail` is `true`.

@return [String] a string with the output from the subprocess executed by

the given block

def self.execpipe(command, failonfail = true)
  # Paste together an array with spaces.  We used to paste directly
  # together, no spaces, which made for odd invocations; the user had to
  # include whitespace between arguments.
  #
  # Having two spaces is really not a big drama, since this passes to the
  # shell anyhow, while no spaces makes for a small developer cost every
  # time this is invoked. --daniel 2012-02-13
  command_str = command.respond_to?(:join) ? command.join(' ') : command

  if respond_to? :debug
    debug "Executing '#{command_str}'"

    Puppet.debug "Executing '#{command_str}'"
  end

  # force the run of the command with
  # the user/system locale to "C" (via environment variables LANG and LC_*)
  # it enables to have non localized output for some commands and therefore
  # a predictable output
  english_env = ENV.to_hash.merge( {'LANG' => 'C', 'LC_ALL' => 'C'} )
  output = Puppet::Util.withenv(english_env) do
    open("| #{command_str} 2>&1") do |pipe|

execute(command, options = NoOptionsSpecified) click to toggle source

Executes the desired command, and return the status and output. def execute(command, options) @param command [Array<String>, String] the command to execute. If it is

an Array the first element should be the executable and the rest of the
elements should be the individual arguments to that executable.

@param options [Hash] a Hash of options @option options [Boolean] :failonfail if this value is set to true, then this method will raise an error if the

command is not executed successfully.

@option options [Integer, String] :uid (nil) the user id of the user that the process should be run as @option options [Integer, String] :gid (nil) the group id of the group that the process should be run as @option options [Boolean] :combine sets whether or not to combine stdout/stderr in the output @option options [String] :stdinfile (nil) sets a file that can be used for stdin. Passing a string for stdin is not currently

supported.

@option options [Boolean] :squelch (true) if true, ignore stdout / stderr completely. @option options [Boolean] :override_locale (true) by default (and if this option is set to true), we will temporarily override

the user/system locale to "C" (via environment variables LANG and LC_*) while we are executing the command.
This ensures that the output of the command will be formatted consistently, making it predictable for parsing.
Passing in a value of false for this option will allow the command to be executed using the user/system locale.

@option options [Hash<{String => String}>] :custom_environment ({}) a hash of key/value pairs to set as environment variables for the duration

of the command.

@return [Puppet::Util::Execution::ProcessOutput] output as specified by options @raise [Puppet::ExecutionFailure] if the executed chiled process did not exit with status == 0 and `failonfail` is

`true`.

@note Unfortunately, the default behavior for failonfail and combine (since

0.22.4 and 0.24.7, respectively) depend on whether options are specified
or not. If specified, then failonfail and combine default to false (even
when the options specified are neither failonfail nor combine). If no
options are specified, then failonfail and combine default to true.

ruby_path() click to toggle source

Returns the path to the ruby executable (available via Config object, even if it’s not in the PATH… so this is slightly safer than just using Puppet::Util.which) @return [String] the path to the Ruby executable @api private
