[Daniel Parks (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Daniel Parks created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8290 Allow auto-conversion to Sensitive data type Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: PUP 5.3.3 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/12/21 10:51 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Daniel Parks Puppet Version: 5.3.3 Puppet Server Version: N/A OS Name/Version: N/A When passing data to a resource that declares a parameter as Sensitive the value must be manually cast to Sensitive. Please allow values matching type T to be automatically cast to values of Sensitive[T]. In particular, this would be helpful for automatic parameters. Right now Sensitive is too much of a pain. Automatic casts would remove that cost and allow me to start using it everywhere. Desired Behavior: ❯ puppet apply -e 'define foo ( Sensitive $p ) { } foo { "f": p => "secret" }' Notice: Compiled catalog for marla.local in environment production in 0.02 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds Actual Behavior: ❯ puppet apply -e 'define foo ( Sensitive $p ) { } foo { "f": p => "secret" }' Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Foo[f]: parameter 'p' expects a Sensitive value, got String at line 1 on node marla.local Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.0.2#70111-sha1:88534db) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
