Jira (PUP-4662) EPP template can't explicitly access top scope variables if there's no node definition in the scope chain

[Nicholas Fagerlund (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Nicholas Fagerlund created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4662 EPP template can't explicitly access top scope variables if there's no node definition in the scope chain Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2015/05/27 4:32 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Nicholas Fagerlund If you try to explicitly access a top scope variable that is shadowed by a template parameter, Puppet will incorrectly use the parameter value instead unless there's a node scope present in the scope chain. Manifest: $testvar = "from top scope"   node 'magpie.lan' { $testvar = "from node scope" }   include epp_class   class epp_class { $testvar = "from the local scope"   notify { "mynotify": message => epp( 'epp_test/future_epp_scope_bug.epp', { testvar => "from the params" } ), } } Template: <%- |$testvar| -%> testvar is <%= $testvar %>. Top testvar is <%= $::testvar %> Local testvar is <%= $epp_class::testvar %>. Result: testvar is from the params. Top testvar is from the params Local testvar is from the local scope. If you move that include epp_class into the node definition, it will instead say "Top testvar is from top scope".
