* 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?
The time() function takes an argument of a timezone, and always returns
time in epoch format. The epoch format is the number of seconds that
have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
seconds. This means that it is universally the same regardless of
timezones.
I don't know what the timezone argument is supposed to do, and it is not
documented. So lets just make 1.8.7 work like > 1.8.7
Previously, the random number generator was seeded with the array or
string to be rotated in addition to any values specifically provided for
seeding. This behavior is potentially insecure in that it allows an
attacker who can modify the source data to choose the post-shuffle
order.
Tests in the new style produces the following documentation output:
abs
should not eq nil
should run abs() and raise an Puppet::ParseError
should run abs(-34) and return 34
should run abs("-34") and return 34
should run abs(34) and return 34
should run abs("34") and return 34
The rspec-puppet matchers don't allow to check the return types, but
this is a pretty rare thing to need to do anyway, so probably not worth
patching rspec-puppet
Fix off-by-one error in validate_augeas_spec.rb that was causing rspec failure
Even without the gem installed always, this is helpful to avoid errors should augeas be enabled/installed due to something else.
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 previous commit to uriescape() changed the implementation to use the ruby default escape list for URI.escape(), but did not change the call triggered when uriescape() was called on an array, triggering ruby errors.
As per puppetlabs/puppet@292233c, this leaves the global seed in a
deterministic state, which is bad. Puppet::Util.deterministic_rand()
exists to avoid running into this issue, but is only present starting in
Puppet 3.2.0.
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.
