Jira (BOLT-1198) Support capitals in aliases and group names
Title: Message Title Alex Dreyer commented on BOLT-1198 Re: Support capitals in aliases and group names Long term we don't expect a single inventory file to be adequate for bolt. The main proposal to fix this is an `inventory.d` directory that allows groups to be broken out into separate files. In the past we've had trouble with allowing capitals in objects that map to file names due to file system specific capitalization behavior. If we were going to support this I think we'd have to make group names and aliases case insensitive in bolt which is significantly more work than just changing the group and alias regex.

Jira (BOLT-1198) Support capitals in aliases and group names
Title: Message Title Kevin Reeuwijk created an issue Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-1198 Support capitals in aliases and group names Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: BOLT 1.14.0, BOLT 1.13.1, BOLT 1.13.0, BOLT 1.12.0, BOLT 1.11.0, BOLT 1.10.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: bolt Created: 2019/03/21 3:04 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Kevin Reeuwijk Using one or more capitals in an alias or group name in inventory.yaml will result in strange behavior, it will complain about invalid group names, but not specify that capitals are the problem. Especially for Windows users, the usage of one/more/all capitals in these sorts of names is very normal. They are not aware there could be anything illegal with them. This also raises a separate concern about having case-sensitivity yes or no, if capitals were to be fully supported. Again, for Windows users, they are used to such things being case-insensitive. At the minimum, if Bolt wouldn't support capitals in any way going forward, a useful error message should be shown to the user, informing them that capitals can't be used.
