Jira (PUP-5603) Unset metaparameters throw strict_variables errors

[Bob Vincent (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Bob Vincent created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5603 Unset metaparameters throw strict_variables errors Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.0.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/12/12 12:42 PM Environment: Puppet 4.0+ with strict_variables=true Fix Versions: PUP 5.0.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Bob Vincent The documentation for metaparameters implies that they are available to every resource, but when strict_variables=true, unset metaparameters are not assigned default values. The following code fails with strict_variables=true B { schedule => undef, } define a { notify { $name: message => 'Success', } } define b { a { $name: schedule => $schedule, } } b { 'no schedule': } Error Evaluation Error: Unknown variable: 'schedule'. at test.pp:11:17 Explicitly setting the metaparameter results in a warning define a { notify { $name: message => 'Success', } } define b ( $schedule = undef, ) { a { $name: schedule => $schedule, } } b { 'no schedule': } Warning schedule is a metaparam; this value will inherit to all contained resources in the b definition Currently, I am using the following ugly workaround define a { notify { $name: message => 'Success', } } define b { $strict = defined('$::settings::strict_variables') and $::settings::strict_variables if $strict and !defined('$schedule') { $schedule = undef } a { $name: schedule => $schedule, } } b { 'no schedule': } Notice Success Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.12#64027-sha1:e3691cc) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
