[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-6108 Circular type aliases are not handled gracefully. Change By: Henrik Lindberg Release Notes Summary: Before this, mistakes in type aliases could cause endless recursion ending with an out of stack error. This is now gracefully handled with a specific error message. Release Notes: Bug Fix The following code: {code} type Foo = Bar type Bar = Foo 0 =~ Bar {code} produces: {code} Error: Could not run: stack level too deep {code} Expected an error message saying that type {{Bar}} cannot be resolved due to a circular reference. Also reproduced with a self-reference: {code} type Foo = Foo 0 =~ Foo {code} ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA ---- * That a circular type alias does not cause an out of stack error * That the error message identifies at least one of the involved types in the circularity in the error message Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.13#64028-sha1:b7939e9) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
