Re: method: returnclasses not working

[Brian Elliott]

So I changed my first example based on the docs Knut linked above. It's
still not working for me.
----------------------
# test-method.cf
control:
        any::
                actionsequence = ( methods )
                AddInstallable = ( TestMethod_class1 )

methods:
        any::
                TestMethod(null)
                action=method:TestMethod.cf
                returnclasses=class1
                server=localhost

alerts:
        TestMethod_class1::
                "class1 was defined in method TestMethod"

----------------------------------
 # method:TestMethod.cf
control:
   any::
      ModuleName = ( TestMethod )
      MethodParameters = ( null )

      actionsequence = ( shellcommands )

shellcommands:
   any::
      "/bin/echo foo" define=class1

alerts:
   class1::
      "class1 defined!"
      ReturnClasses(class1)
---------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, I'm still not getting the alert output from
method-test.cf. I even tried being extra thorough and added
AddInstallable = ( TestModule_class1 ) to method-test.cf and classes:
class1 = ( any ) to method:TestModule.cf with no success.

I'm using cfengine-2.1.15 and I can provide complete debug logs if
anyone is interested.

BTW, I was using http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html
as my reference doc (go figure...) and I don't see where it says I need
to prefix the class with 'modulename_'. There's mention about prefixing
variables, but that's it. So at the very least, there's a document bug.

I'd love to get some real evidence that this feature works, rather than
bickering over how it's _supposed_ to work ;)

Thanks,
