Hi,

tried to use the "Sensitive" data type for the first time (with Puppet
6.18.0), but it doesn't work as expected (found and followed several
tutorials on the net, see links below), also using the "lookup_options"
method to ensure the Hiera-provided value is indeed converted to
sensitive.

Here's my sample code (Hiera files omitted):

class test (Sensitive $foo) {
  file {'/tmp/foo':
    content => "${foo}\n",
  }
}

When I run this, I get:

Notice: /Stage[main]/Test/File[/tmp/foo]/content: 
--- /tmp/foo    2020-09-09 07:53:40.166807782 +0200
+++ /tmp/puppet-file20200909-18841-zq93gr       2020-09-09
14:55:05.569695841 +0200
@@ -1 +1 @@
-bar
+Sensitive [value redacted]


Notice: /Stage[main]/Test/File[/tmp/foo]/content: content changed
'{md5}fc552...' to '{md5}48a07...'

and then the file indeed looks like this:

# cat /tmp/foo 
Sensitive [value redacted]

instead of containing the real value provided in Hiera.

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Dirk
