Using editfiles in method

[Free Ekanayaka]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a weird problem.

This is the conf file:

### test.conf ##################################
control:

   actionsequence = ( methods )

methods:

   EditMyFile(/my/file)

           action=cf.editmyfile
################################################

And this is the method file:

### /var/lib/cfengine2/modules/cf.editmyfile ###

control:

 MethodName       = ( EditMyFile )
 MethodParameters = ( file )

 actionsequence = ( editfiles )

editfiles:

    { "$(file)"

      # Some commands here

    }
################################################

But then the editfile action is not taken..

From the log I can read:

[...]
cfengine::EditMyFile: Setting transmitted variable file = ( /my/file )
[...]
Method EditMyFile found, but arguments did not match
Method EditMyFile not defined

The weird thing is that if I hard-wire the parameter, e.g. :

    { /my/file

      # Some commands here

    }

then everything is fine,  and I can  even use the $(file)  variable in
the editfiles commands.

I've tried also without "" :

    { $(file)

      # Some commands here

    }

but no way..

Hints?

Cheers,
