This is a partial backport and update of 03c5c4a434
to add travis-ci support and a Gemfile to 2.x. Right now we're not
testing 2.x in travis-ci and we're experiencing spec failures because we
have to install rspec-puppet from git. The best resolution for this is
to consistently use a Gemfile for running tests.
This commit also rewrites the .travis.yml for 2.x to only test 2.x
versions against ruby 1.8.7 and Puppet < 3.0
Conflicts:

This change is to implement a new function "any2array", which will take any
argument or arguments and create an array which contains it. If the argument
is a single array then it will be returned as-is. If the argument is a single
hash then it will be converted into an array. Otherwise (if there are more than
one argument, or the only argument is not an array or a hash) the function will
return an array containing all the arguments.
This is a bit more heavy-handed than I might like, but it does appear to
do the right things:
* accepts numeric input appropriately, truncating floats
* matches string input against a regex, then coerces number-looking
strings to int
* makes a best effort to coerce anything else to a string, then subjects
it to the same treatment
* raises an error in the event of incorrect number of arguments or
non-number-looking strings
I've also included some additional unit tests.
No more coercing to String and regex matching. Instead, we now coerce
to Integer at the beginning or raise an error if we cannot coerce to
Integer.
A consequence of this change is that the function will now accept
blatantly non-numeric strings as input, and return false. This seems a
bit goofy to me, but it's how String#to_i works. If we really don't
like this, then I'm open to suggestions.
Puppet passes numbers as String to functions, but it makes more sense to
compare them as Numeric.
But sometimes Puppet passes them as the wrong type, see:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19812
When prefix and suffix did error checking with positional arguments,
they would not report the position of the argument that failed to
validate. This commit changes the messages to indicate which argument
failed.
This function provides a simple wrapper around
Puppet::Parser::Functions.function for access within Puppet manifests.
This will allow users to check whether or not a plugin or functionality
such as hiera is installed on the server.
Without this patch we're not testing against Ruby 2.0.0 which has recently been
released. This is a problem because we'd like a way to be notified if a change
set breaks compatibility with future supported versions of Ruby.
This patch should not be taken as an indication that we fully support Ruby 2.0,
just as an indication that we plan to in the future.
This patch also tightens up the specifications of the build matrix. In
addition to testing against the specific Puppet dependency versions, we're also
testing against the latest 2.7.x release and the latest release.
This reverts commit f7a18189ec, reversing
changes made to 36a7b29630.
I'm reverting this change because of concerns raised by Peter Meier that
it duplicates the "in" operator in the DSL. The "in" operator is new
information that I did not posses when I made the decision to merge.
Because of this new information I'm un-merging and continuing the
discussion in the comments of
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19272
