Summary
This is a supported release
Bugfixes
- Fixed `is_integer`/`is_float`/`is_numeric` for checking the value of
arithmatic expressions.
Known bugs
* No known bugs
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}"
The previous behavior of the tests checked the behavior of the
underlying functions library when called with no arguments; this commit
updates the tests to conform to the functions API and test what happens
when a function is called with no args.
Since we've moved from Redmine to Jira the links need to be updated so
that people know where to look for issues.
At the moment stdlib is being tracked with puppet in the PUP project.
This doesn't seem like a good, long term solution, but it is where we
are right now.
Facter 1.7.4 changed how it decides on what directory to look in for
facts.d based on the user it is running as. This stubs out that bit of
code to make it think it is running as root.
