Title: Message Title

Michael Smith updated an issue   Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-260 Should be easier to pass typed data on CLI Change By: Michael Smith It's common to want to support boolean and integer types, which currently require falling back to passing a JSON blob. We should detect the types required by a task or plan and try to coerce command-line arguments to those types when unambiguous, to avoid making people pass JSON all the time. Handling for different target types: - If String is assignable to the type specified in the plan do not attempt to parse the value. - If String is not assignable to the type specified attempt to parse it as JSON and pass it on to puppet. If it cannot be parsed raise a useful error. Test common Data types (including that Data gets a string). Also Variant[String, ...]. Optional should not error.
