Title: Message Title Alex Dreyer updated an issue Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-260 Should be easier to pass typed data on CLI Change By: Alex Dreyer Release Notes Summary: parameters passed to plans or tasks the commandline can now be typed json data in addition to strings. Any parameter value passed on the commandline will be parsed but the parsed value will only be used if it matches the type. Otherwise the original string will be used.For example an array can be passed with:bolt task run my_task --nodes all files='["/file1", "file2"]'bolt plan run my_plan file=["/file1", "file2"]If you have a parameter than can accept either a string or typed value and want to pass a string wrap the value in double qoutes so that it is parsed as a string.bolt plan run my_plan bool_or_string='"false"'To pass a quoted string:bolt plan run my_plan string_param='"\"quoted\""' Release Notes: New Feature Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-260
Should be easier to pass typed data on CLI
Change By:
Alex Dreyer
It's common to want to support boolean and integer types, which currently require falling back to passing a JSON blob. We should detect the types required by a task or plan and try to coerce command-line arguments to those types when unambiguous, to avoid making people pass JSON all the time.Handling for different target types:- The default behavior is a type that accepts a String.- If the target accepts a Boolean, Integer, Float, Number, or Enum, type specified in the plan is assignable to String do not attempt to coerce parse the value using Puppet's type conversion . e.g. {{Boolean('true')}}. - If the target type specified is a Variant of scalars, not assignable to String attempt to use each type conversion in the scalar in order. If one succeeds, use parse it as JSON and pass it on to puppet . If none succeed, it cannot be parsed raise a useful error. Questions:- Should we try to handle Regexp?- Should we bother handling Variants?

Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-260
Should be easier to pass typed data on CLI
Change By:
Michael Smith
A common pattern being established in plans is to pass an array of nodes. Our example at https://puppet.com/docs/bolt/0.x/writing_plans.html#defining-plan-parameters did that by passing a comma-separated list, which doesn't work at all. It's also common to want to support boolean and integer types, which currently also require falling back to passing a JSON blob. We should detect the types required by a task or plan and try to coerce command-line arguments to those types when unambiguous, to avoid making people pass JSON all the time. One challenging example of this is from our plan docs Handling for different target types : {{Variant[String[1], Array[String[1]]] $backends}} with - The default behavior is a CLI arg of {{backends=kermit type that accepts a String . myorg.com,gonzo.myorg.com}} could either be - If the target accepts a string Boolean , Integer, Float, Number, or an array of 2 items Enum, attempt to coerce the value using Puppet's type conversion . Also {{backends=kermit e . myorg g . com {{Boolean('true') }} could be .- If the target is a string or an array Variant of 1 item scalars, attempt to use each type conversion in the scalar in order . We'll need If one succeeds, use it. If none succeed, error.Questions:- Should we try to decide how to handle that. Regexp?- Should we bother handling Variants?
