Description

I’d like generators to be able to make decisions based on the existence of files in the module’s “templates” or “files” directories. For example, a generator could choose whether a file resource used content => template(“mymodule/somefile”) or content => template(“mymodule/somefile.$fqdn”).

It would be sufficient if puppet did a chdir to the module directory before running the generator, or if puppet provided an environment variable to inform the generator of the appropriate directory name.
