• Auto completion (via auto-completion layer)

Install

Add cfengine to the dotspacemacs-configuration-layers in your ~/.spacemacs to use this layer.

Configuration

Set file permission on save

Here is a function to set permissions to 600 on save, this can help avoid errors like:

File ./example.cf (owner 1000) is writable by others (security exception)

(defun cfengine-permissions-policy-owner-only ()
  "If file starts with a shebang, make `buffer-file-name' executable"
  (save-excursion
    (set-file-modes buffer-file-name #o600)
    (message (concat "Made " buffer-file-name " accessibly only by the owner (600)."))))

(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'cfengine-permissions-policy-owner-only nil 'make-it-local)

Indendation

If you like attributes to be intended from the promiser set Indentation amount from anchor to 2. For example:

  bundle agent main
  {
    vars:

        "promiser"
          string => "value",
          comment => "Indented 2 spaces from promiser";
  }
