Issue #22557 has been updated by eric sorenson.
FWIW Patrick Carlisle and I scanned the forge corpus and found no other instances of 'name' being an array or an array-like variable name. (a variable ending in a plural noun) The workaround is to use the array as the resource title. It's not really a workaround; that's the supported/documented way to achieve this. I'd favor not reverting the cause of this nor doing further work to support it, but to clearly error if it happens. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22557: Regression on arrays and puppet resources using the name attribute https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22557#change-98026 * Author: William Van Hevelingen * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: William Van Hevelingen * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.0 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Upgraded to Puppet 3.3.0 and started getting these errors.
