I thought both messages would have some variant of [one, two, three].
Also the namevar here is the name parameter.
But then things get even weirder when I try to do things with the namevar:
$ cat /tmp/y.pp
$array = ["one", "two", "three"]
notify { $array:
message => $array,
}
$ puppet apply /tmp/y.pp
Notice: Compiled catalog for cwl.hostopia.com in environment production in 0.04
seconds
Notice: one
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[one]/message: defined 'message' as 'one'
Notice: one
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[two]/message: defined 'message' as 'one'
Notice: one
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[three]/message: defined 'message' as 'one'
Notice: Applied catalog in 0.08 seconds
But this seems like it might be more normal, but then breaks in a manner I did
not expect:
$ cat /tmp/z.pp
$array = ["one", "two", "three"]
notify { $array:
name => $array,
message => $array,
}
$ puppet apply /tmp/z.pp
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Cannot
alias Notify[two] to [["one", "two", "three"]] at /tmp/z.pp:3; resource
["Notify", "one", "two", "three"] already declared at /tmp/z.pp:3 at
/tmp/z.pp:3:1 on node cwl
The namevar thing works as expected with a file. Feeling more like this is bug
now.
$ cat /tmp/a.pp
$array = ["/tmp/one", "/tmp/two", "/tmp/three"]
file { $array:
content => $array,
}
