1. Description

This layer adds support for CFEngine policies to Spacemacs.

1.1. Features:

Syntax highlighting (CFEngine DSL, Mustache)
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.

2. Install

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

3. Configuration

3.1. 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)

3.2. Indentation

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";
}

4. 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!";
}

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().
