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.
The `match` attribute was validated to match `line`, except that in many
cases (even the example given in the docs) a user would want to match a
line entirely different from the new line.

for further examples of confusion.
Currently, the member function allows one to only find if a variable
is part of an array. Sometimes it is useful to find if an array is part
of a bigger array for validation purpose.
This is needed for the future parser which actually treats numbers as
numbers and strings as strings. With this patch you can use range(1,5)
instead of having to quote them like range('1','5').
* We were converting Exabytes to bytes as Petabytes.
* Updated tests to cover ever unit.
* Added note that we're going by the old, inaccurate definitions of
Kilobytes, Megabytes, etc, in that we treat them as powers of 2.
We need to use
unless value.is_a?(String) || value.is_a?(Array)
rather than
klass = value.class
unless [String, Array].include?(klass)
because the klass version enforces type checking which is too strict, and does
not allow us to accept objects wich have extended String (or Array).
For example, generate() function now returns Puppet::Util::Execution::ProcessOutput
which is just a very simple extension of String. While this in it's self was
not intentional (PUP-2306) it is not unreasonable to cope with objects which
extend Strings
Previously, bool2str() accepted a broad array of boolean values and
bare strings, without any attempt to validate that the strings in any
way resembled "true" or "false" (or any of the other values bool2num()
accepts). This commit narrows the input confinement to TrueClass and
FalseClass, which means that bool2str() will only interpolate
strict boolean values now.
file_line supports adding lines after a match, but there are use cases when
having "before" would be useful. For example, in Debian-based OS's, the last
line of /etc/rc.local is "exit 0" it's an incredible pain to deal with
that scenario today.
This commit adds a 'before' parameter to the file_line type, and implements
it for the ruby provider.
Python likes to have its constants Capitalized, and the capitalize
function only understands strings... so I shave a yak.
bool2str will convert a boolean to its equivalent string value,
and camelcase extends on uppercase & downcase to convert an underscore
delimited string into a camelcased string.
Previously this was incorrectly handling facts that were of the form
foo=1+1=2 due to the ='s in the actual fact contents. Fix this and
add tests to try and prevent regressions.
Without this patch one can not specify package resource specific
parameters. All the ensure_packages() function does it makes sure
the named packages are installed. This patch allows one to pass
default as a second argument and allow greater flexibility on
packages installations.
Use case like the following are now possible :
* ensure_packages(['r10k', 'serverspec'], {'provider' => 'gem'})
* ensure_packages(['ntp'], {'require' => 'Exec[foobar]'})
Instead of modifying the first paramater of deep_merge due to the
use of the merge! function, instead use merge to return a copy of
the merged object. This allows one to continue to use the original
first parameter after the call to deep_merge.
I expect a function called "is_numeric" or "is_integer" to check if a
variable is an integer or a number even if the variable passed by isn't
a string nor a number at all. Otherwise we should call them
is_string_a_number and is_string_an_integer and we have then to remove
the check for .is_a?(Number) and .is_a?(FixNum)
now checking also if it is a hex or octal number
improved/corrected checking for integer
* checking against Integer instead of Fixnum so that
also Bignum is matching
* now .is_a? Integer is done first so this is quiet fast
Now many types of numerics are recognized.
1. Float/Integer values (signed or unsigned, with exponent or without)
2. octal and hex check
3. except hex numbers and the "0." in a float lower than 1 can be prefixed
with a '0'.
whitespaces shouldn't be allowed as prefix/suffix
string representation of numbers should not contain any type of
whitespace.. the user is responsible to clean a string before checking
it..
fix documentation and added more checks
tried to be 99.9% backward compatible
* for now the decission is post poned if hex and octal numbers
should be allowed or not (is_numeric)
* native Bignum is now also a valid integer class
fix problem with old 1.8 ruby and Hash.to_s/Array.to_s
In ruby < 1.9 array and hashes would be recognized as numeric
if they have a special format:
1.8:
[1,2,3,4].to_s = "1234"
{1=>2}.to_s = "12"
1.9:
[1,2,3,4].to_s = "[1, 2, 3, 4]"
{1=>2}.to_s = "{1=>2}"
Issue #20200 notes that the merge function does not
support nested hashes.
To prevent unintended side effects with changing merge,
add a deep_merge function instead.
