go-augeas's Issues

Port to pure golang implementation and remove "C"

A pure-golang implementation of this would be better, more portable, and also allow for building with: CGO_ENABLED=0.
This would allow for easier reproducible builds for example, as explained here: https://go.dev/blog/rebuild

Would someone like to port this to remove the "C" implementation?

I'm considering (but have not yet decided) to drop "C" stuff in mgmt. https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ if I decide to do so, and this isn't ported, then I would have to either drop the augeas resource entirely or at least from the default builds.

Thank you!

link to static augeas library and cross-compile

Does it possible to link with static augeas library and enable cros-compile (i'm using go 1.5.1)

Playground example does not work.

I'm getting:

prog.go:4: can't find import: "honnef.co/go/augeas"
[process exited with non-zero status]

Save does not return an error when the file does not exist

in roidelapluie/go-augtest@dca84f5

the file /tmp/foo/bar does not exist, is not created, but still augeas.Save() does not return an error.

[idea] provide a reflection interface

I don't know how easy it would be, but it would be pretty cool to have something along the lines of:

type Fstab struct {
  File     string `augeas:"file"`
  Vfstype  string `augeas:"vfstype"`
  Opt      map[string]string `augeas:"opt" augeas-type:"array"`
  Dump     bool `augeas:"dump"`
  Passno   bool `augeas:"passno"`
} `augeas:"/files/etc/fstab" augeas-type:"seq"`

The lib would then provide a Parse method to fill the structure from Augeas info, and a Write method to write back to Augeas and save.

Missing functions

The following Augeas functions aren't currently implemented and should probably be added:

• aug_label
• aug_cp
• aug_rename
• aug_text_store
• aug_text_retrieve
• aug_escape_name
• aug_transform
• aug_srun

Looking for volunteers to contribute those functions.

Flags are wrong

    aug, _ := augeas.New("/", "", augeas.None)
    v, _ := aug.Get("/augeas/save")
    log.Println(v)

prints backup. Using augeas.Backup prints newfile, etc.

func (a Augeas) Set(path, value string) setting empty Value failure

If the value is empty or null, go-augeas doesn't works.

But if I used augtool command, I can setting an empty value
such as

augtool> ls /files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output
augtool> print /files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output
/files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output = "Off"
augtool> set /files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output
augtool> save
Saved 1 file(s)
augtool> print /files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output
/files/etc/php.ini/Tidy/tidy.clean_output

setting an empty value for tidy.clean_output

But if I used Set(path, value string) this method , it doesn't works

How can I setting an empty value with this method ？

func (a Augeas) Set(path, value string) error {
    …
}

Thanks for your help!

Newer ppa for ubuntu

Hey @raphink want to update https://launchpad.net/~raphink/+archive/ubuntu/augeas with a 1.7 build so travis can build the latest versions of this lib with 1.7 inside?

Cheers!
