The quote_char is used to quote the entire setting when it is modified
as a result of changes to some subsettings.
For an example let's assume we have a setting of this form:
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx256m
and we want to add the '-Xms' parameter to the setting, for that purpose
we define a resource like this:
ini_subsetting { '-Xms':
ensure => present,
path => '/some/config/file',
section => '',
setting => 'JAVA_ARGS',
subsetting => '-Xms'
value => '256m',
}
which results into the following setting:
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx256m -Xms256m
But this is not what we intended - if this setting is read by the bash
shell the '-Xms256m' parameter is interpreted as a command to be
executed rather than a value to be assigned to the JAVA_ARGS variable.
To fix this problem the quote_char parameter was added to the
ini_subsetting resource type, and we'll take advantage of it to fix the
problem in the above example like so:
ini_subsetting { '-Xms':
ensure => present,
path => '/some/config/file',
section => '',
setting => 'JAVA_ARGS',
quote_char => '"',
subsetting => '-Xms'
value => '256m',
}
which will result into:
JAVA_ARGS="-Xmx256m -Xms256m"
which is what we intended.
Per a request to have initial release notes that specifically listed known issues for this PE 3.2 release, and barred by time constraints from automating a pull from open issues in JIRA, this commit adds a Release Note and Known Bug section to the Changelog for the imminent 3.2 release. As it will display on the Forge, updates file type to markdown and standardizes previous entries. Adds template for release notes to be filled in later.
This removes the "basic_spec" as it is largely a sanity check against
the env/tooling. The spec itself is problematic because in Puppet
Enterprise a module will be in 'sitemoduledir' or 'distmoduledir'
depending on whether it's included in PE as part of the distribution or
not. However it will always be in 'distmoduledir' for FOSS.
Summary:
This release is a bugfix for handling whitespace/[]'s better, and adding
a bunch of tests.
Bugfixes:
- Handle whitespace in sections
- Handle square brances in values
- Add metadata.json
- Update some travis testing
