Hello, I am trying to realize users and am not getting what I expect with multiple != test. Here is a simplified version that I have tested with puppet gem 4.2.2 and 4.6.2 (results were the same for all tests): cat t.ppt.pp (common to all tests): @notify {'This is a test 1': tag => 'one' } @notify {'This is a test 2': tag => 'two' } @notify {'This is a test 3': tag => ['one', 'two'] } @notify {'This is a test 4': tag => 'three' } Notify <| test_goes_here |>
First 3 expected: tail -1 t.pp Notify <| tag == 'one' or tag == 'two' |> puppet apply t.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for defiant.cequintecid.com in environment production in 0.70 seconds Notice: This is a test 1 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 1]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 1' Notice: This is a test 2 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 2]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 2' Notice: This is a test 3 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 3]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 3' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds Test 3 only, as expected: tail -1 t.pp Notify <| tag == 'one' and tag == 'two' |> puppet apply t.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for defiant.cequintecid.com in environment production in 0.47 seconds Notice: This is a test 3 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 3]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 3' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds Now we get to the '!=' tests. with a single tag it works as expected so I wont take space here to show that. With multiple tags, it does not work as expected Since tags is a hash that contains lots of things, including all explicit tag's set on a resource. The == and != operators are supposed to act like contains and !contains functions (or so I thought) Here I expect to only get test 4. 1 and 2 are filtered because one of the and'ed tests is false. 3 should fail too because both test are false: tags contains both 'one' and 'two'. tail -1 t.pp Notify <| tag != 'one' and tag != 'two' |> puppet apply t.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for defiant.cequintecid.com in environment production in 0.48 seconds Notice: This is a test 3 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 3]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 3' Notice: This is a test 4 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 4]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 4' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds Frankly, I also expect that 3 should be filtered from the or version too because neither of the tests should be true if this is a contains function and not one that tests against each hash value. tail -1 t.pp Notify <| tag != 'one' or tag != 'two' |> puppet apply t.pp Notice: Compiled catalog for defiant.cequintecid.com in environment production in 0.58 seconds Notice: This is a test 1 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 1]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 1' Notice: This is a test 2 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 2]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 2' Notice: This is a test 3 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 3]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 3' Notice: This is a test 4 Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Notify[This is a test 4]/message: defined 'message' as 'This is a test 4' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds Two boolean falses dont make a true do they?
