* previously the str2bool function did not accept 'TRUE' as a bool
type. This causes the function to now accept TRUE, FALSE strings
as a boolean type in order to be converted to a proper boolean.
* This would also cause Y,N, YES, NO to be accepted as boolean types
as well.
Add spec tests to test the new functionality:
*Case for 3 arrays.
*Case for 4 arrays.
Modify README to note new functionality.
This is for issue MODULE-2456, follow the precedent of MODULE-444.
This change allows union to be much more useful, unioning many arrays
in one line rather than in n lines. Additionally, as this is only added
functionality, and does not affect the 2 array case that all modules
currently using array are using, it should not affect any existing
modules utilizing union.
This is now useful, for example, for merging many arrays of resources
(eg: packages.) to generate just one list with no duplicates, to avoid
duplicate resource declarations.
This function loads the metadata.json into a puppet variable. This enables a number of neat things such as:
* Which version of the module am I using? 2.x? 3.x?
* Which author of the module am I using? puppetlabs? example42?
Without this, file_line resource without the `match` parameter but with the `after` param will throw an error if there are multiple matches for the after expression. This patch creates the handling for the `multiple` parameter in handle_create_with_after. This allows you to add a line after the `after` expression if it appears at multiple points in a file.
Updated reference to `file_line` in the README to reflect that the multiple parameter can be set when using `after` and/or `match` as the matching regex.
As mentioned in #270, private is a reserved keyword in the future parser
which is to be released with Puppet 4. As it stands, this function is
not useable with the future parser so it needs to renamed.
This is a breaking change.
The `type()` function will cease to work on the new parser because 'type'
is a reserved keyword. The `type3x()` function may be used to continue
similar functionality, but will be deprecated in favor of the built-in
typing system.
The `type_of()` function has been included to introspect types in the
new parser.
Was unclear and not accurate; rewrote the parameter, moved file_line from function list to resource section, added missing parameters for this resource.
