Description

This layer adds support for CFEngine policies to Spacemacs.

• Syntax highlighting
• On the fly syntax checking via flycheck integration.
• Auto completion via company integration.
• Execution of cfengine3 SRC blocks in org-mode via ob-cfengine3 package.

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";
  }

Execution of cfengine3 SRC blocks

This layers add support for cfengine3 source blocks in org files. With the insertion point inside the SRC block press ,, or CTRL-c Ctrl-c

  bundle agent main
  {
    reports:

        "Hello World!";
  }

R: Hello World!

See the ob-cfengine3 README for information on controlling inclusion of the stdlib, definition of classes and controlling the bundlesequence using header args.

To suppress the confirmation when executing a block set (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil) in dotspacemacs/user-config().
