dirtree

This module provides the dirtree function.

The dirtree function accepts a string containing an absolute directory path and will return an array of the tree containing all the directories of that path.

The first parameter can also be an array of absolute directory paths, which will be transformed into an array of all trees containing all directories in the paths.

An optional second parameter can be supplied that contains a path to exclude from the resulting array.

Best efforts have been made to make this function compatible with both Windows and Linux systems.

Examples

dirtree('/usr/share/puppet')
Will return: ['/usr', '/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet']

dirtree('C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers')
Will return: ["C:\\windows", "C:\\windows\\system32", "C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers"]

dirtree(['/usr/share/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl', '/var/lib/puppet/modules'])
Will return: ['/usr', '/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet',
              '/var', '/var/lib', '/var/lib/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl',
              '/var/lib/puppet/modules']

dirtree('/usr/share/puppet', '/usr')
Will return: ['/usr/share', '/usr/share/puppet']

dirtree('C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers', 'C:\\windows')
Will return: ['C:\\windows\\system32', 'C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers']

You can use the dirtree function in a class to enumerate all required directories if needed.

class dirtree {
  # rubysitedir = /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8
  $dirtree = dirtree("/var/lib/puppet/ssl", '/var/lib')

  # $dirtree = ['/usr/lib/puppet', '/var/lib/puppet/ssl']
  ensure_resource('file', $dirtree, {'ensure' => 'directory'})
}

With the puppetlabs-stdlib 1.4.0 module, the ensure_resource function accepts an array, which will create new resources with the names specified if they don't already exist.

Changes
