    You can learn how to create Puppet modules from its documentation.

Open Puppet modules and environments

RubyMine automatically recognizes opened Puppet modules or environments (for instance, by availability of metadata.json or environment.conf files) and marks them with corresponding icons in the project tree.

After opening a module or environment, you can install its dependencies.

Install dependencies

RubyMine allows you to install the module/environment dependencies specified in the following files:

  • If the module contains a .fixtures.yml file, RubyMine will install dependencies using rake tasks into the spec/fixtures/modules directory. In this case, the IDE does not check next sources.

  • If there is a Puppetfile, RubyMine installs dependencies using librarian-puppet into the .dependencies directory (or to modules for environments).

  • In case of a project contains metadata.json, RubyMine installs dependencies using librarian-puppet in the same way as from the Puppetfile.

To install the module/environment dependencies, right-click the module in the Project tool window and select Install dependencies for module <name> or Install dependencies for environment <name>.

If the project’s SDK does not have the librarian-puppet gem installed, RubyMine will suggest installing it.

  • On the Editor | Live templates page, you can create custom live templates for the Puppet language in the same way as for other languages.
