@pedro The __hosts type has many issues of its own (cf. #826). Don't use it as an example.

@pedro If you're interested in modifying network interfaces you might be interested in !838.
The MR is actually working, but still marked WIP because I can't make up my mind how and if dual stack configurations should be handled.

@ander that's nice, object-ids are unique, so if we are always appending automatically the object ID as a comment on each line introduced, then it would work. I saw something in __hosts type, which, oh wow, it uses __line type too in a very similar use case, and they solved it implementing what you said:

https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/blob/master/cdist/conf/type/__hosts/manifest#L26

so what about moving that marker in __line type so more types and custom manifests can benefit of using __line multiple times

can confirm.

reason is that __line will allow only one occurence of --line X.

usecase is totally valid, but __line is not designed this usecase in mind. not a bug, but rather shortcoming.

one possible workaround is to make lines somewhat unique, for example:

__line test_eno1 \
    --file /tmp/interfaces \
    --after 'iface eno1' \
    --line  '    mtu 9000 # eno1 mtu' \
    --state present

__line test_eno2 \
    --file /tmp/interfaces \
    --after 'iface eno2' \
    --line  '    mtu 9000 # eno2 mtu' \
    --state present

but this doesn't fly with every file format.

my awk-fu isn't that good, so I can't help with a "fix" here 😿

I have the same output, I hope is easy enough to test

cat > /tmp/interfaces <<EOF
auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual
EOF

cp /tmp/interfaces /tmp/interfaces.orig

cdist config localhost -i - <<EOF
__line test_eno1 \
  --file /tmp/interfaces \
  --after 'iface eno1' \
  --line  '    mtu 9000' \
  --state present

require='__line/test_eno1' \
  __line test_eno2 \
    --file /tmp/interfaces \
    --after 'iface eno2' \
    --line  '    mtu 9000' \
    --state present
EOF

race condition, because no dependency defined and parallel execution?

add require='__line/test_eno1' \ before __line test_eno2 \
