[Puppet Users] Re: Suppress deprecation warnings because of Referencing Variables

[Eric Sorenson]

Chris, thanks very much for the pull requests to fix the modules.

I'll work up a fix for the docs; it looks like in particular the second 
bullet 
at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html#referencing-variables 
needs to reflect the deprecation and, as you note, the second half still 
uses the bareword.

As an aside it's totally awesome that people are picking up on all the new 
stuff in the 3.2 release. Keep 'em coming!

That's exactly what a deprecation warning is for. It doesn't break anything 
yet, but gets people to take notice. :-)

Thankfully, deprecation warnings only show when the puppet master is 
restarted.

[Puppet Users] Re: Suppress deprecation warnings because of Referencing Variables

I am in the same boat here. For example there are a few puppetlabs modules 
that currently don't have a stable release that fixes this:

   - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql - tag 0.6.1  (pull 
   request )
   - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache - tag 0.6.0 (fixed in 
   master branch)
   - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt - tag 1.1.0 (pull 
request
   )

And this isn't even all of them, only the ones that I use...
Sure this issue is addressed in the master branch of these modules (or 
pending pull requests, that I just submitted today) but I don't feel 
comfortable running 'master' in production.

Heck, even the documentation 
("iteration" 
section and below)  breaks down halfway down the page and stops using the 
'@'.
I feel like this new "warning" might have been a bit premature, then again, 
I suppose this will force people to fix the problem.

John, thanks so much for your notice, yes I thought about this too, and, 
now I think I should spend sometime fixing them rather than suppressing. At 
first I was frustrated because of so many warning, but now I got it, I dont 
think I should stop at version < 3.2.

I don't know about suppressing the warnings, but unless you intend to stop 
at Puppet 3.2, you really ought to fix them.  Deprecation is a prelude to 
feature removal, so you can expect that your templates will no longer work 
with some future version of Puppet.  You can put off changes until then if 
you want, but I'd recommend that you do the work now.  That will help you 
avoid making more future work for yourself, by causing new uses of the 
deprecated style to stand out.
