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:

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.
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
Reference: GH-130
It is exceptionally difficult to determine if an array contains an element matching a specific value without an iteration or loop construct.
This function is the Puppet equivalent of Array.includes?(foo) in Ruby. The implementation is a verbatim copy of has_key() with the minor modifications needed to support arrays instead of hashes.
Without this patch applied there is no easy way to append one array to
another. This is a problem because it is often desirable to join two
arrays without flattening the contents into a single, one dimensional
array.
This patch addresses the problem by adding a `concat()` function which
takes two arguments. The arguments will be concatenated together and a
new array returned to the caller.

Without this patch applied the file_line autorequire examples are
failing. This is a problem because the failures are false positives and
should be passing given the implementation.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the examples to directly test
the existence of the relationship by finding it in the list of
autorequire relationships.
If we manage a file we edit with file_line, it should be autorequired by
file_line. Without this patch applied the relationship is not
automatically setup and the user is forced to manually manage the
relationship.
This commit adds a function that joins each of a hash's keys with that
key's corresponding value, separated by a separator string. The
arguments are a hash and separator string. The return value is an
array of joined key/value pairs.
Previous to this commit, the delete function only acted on
arrays. This commit adds the same functionality for hashes and strings
in the obvious way: delete(h, k) would delete the k key from the h
hash and delete(s, sub) would delete all instances of the sub
substring from the s string.
This function is similar to a coalesce function in SQL in that it will
return
the first value in a list of values that is not undefined or an empty
string
(two things in Puppet that will return a boolean false value).
Typically,
this function is used to check for a value in the Puppet
Dashboard/Enterprise
Console, and failover to a default value like the following:
$real_jenkins_version = pick($::jenkins_version, '1.449')
The value of $real_jenkins_version will first look for a top-scope
variable
called 'jenkins_version' (note that parameters set in the Puppet
Dashboard/
Enterprise Console are brought into Puppet as top-scope variables), and,
failing that, will use a default value of 1.449.
If one wishes to test if a host has a particular IP address (such as a floating
virtual address) or has an interface on a particular network (such as a
secondary management network), the facts that provide this information are
difficult to use within Puppet.
This patch addresses these needs by implementing functions
‘has_ip_address(value)’ and ‘has_ip_network(value)’. These functions look
through all interfaces for ipaddress_<interface> and network_<interface>
(respectively) having the requested <value>.
These functions are implemented on top of a lower-level predicate
function, ‘has_interface_with(kind, value)’, which iterates through the
interfaces in the ‘interfaces’ fact and checks the facts <kind>_<interface>
looking for <value>.
Additionally, the existence of a particular named interface can be checked for
by calling with only a single argument: has_interface_with(interface).
A Boolean is returned in all cases.
Without this patch stdlib tests fail against Facter 2.x and master but
not 1.6.x.
This patch fixes the problem by initializing the example group
differently depending on the version of Facter integrating into the
system. The adjusted methods are:
1.x - Facter.collection.loader.load
2.x - Facter.collection.load
The collection actually implements the load method in both version, it's
simply marked as private in 1.x.
This reverts commit d6d23b495c.
This backwards-compatible additional functionality is targeted at the
next minor release. There are already backwards-incompatible changes in
the master branch so we need to establish a new minor branch.
This reverts commit 74e6411157, reversing
changes made to 417d219aa6.
Here's why:
Actually... I just screwed this up.
I merged this new fact into 2.4.x but it's not fixing any bug. It's adding a
new fact, so this should go into master and we should release 2.5 since this is
new, backwards-compatible functionality.
