puppet directory trees creation from a variable

Question

Im trying to create directory tree using puppet. Ex dir => /home/any_dirname/any_dirname2/any_dirname3/

Is it possible to create above tree in puppet where dirname can be anything so im taking it as a variable. How do i split the variable and ensure each directory is created?

Sadly, this cannot work out of the box. See this old feature request. It holds links to resources that may be of help.

Pretty much everybody writes his own mymodule::mkdirp{} resource :) . This is the solution. One example (not by me): echocat/nfs, the resource is called "mkdirp" I think.

Have fun writing your own ;)
