I've seen a number of times the following error displayed to the end
user:
validate_re(): "" does not match "^true$|^false$" at /p/t/f.pp:40
This is an absolutely horrific error message. I'm to blame for it.
Users stumble over this quite often and they shouldn't have to go read
the code to sort out what's happening.
This patch makes an effort to fix the problem by adding a third,
optional, argument to validate_re(). This third argument will be the
message thrown back in the exception which will be displayed to the end
user.
This sets the stage for nicer error messages coming from modules we
write.
This patch is backwards compatible but is a new feature.

Puppet Labs Standard Library
This module provides a "standard library" of resources for developing Puppet Modules. This modules will include the following additions to Puppet
- Stages
- Facts
- Functions
- Defined resource types
- Types
- Providers
This module is officially curated and provided by Puppet Labs. The modules Puppet Labs writes and distributes will make heavy use of this standard library.
Versions
This module follows semver.org (v1.0.0) versioning guidelines. The standard library module is released as part of Puppet Enterprise and as a result older versions of Puppet Enterprise that Puppet Labs still supports will have bugfix maintenance branches periodically "merged up" into master. The current list of integration branches are:
- v2.1.x (v2.1.1 released in PE 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3, 1.2.4)
- v2.2.x (Never released as part of PE, only to the Forge)
- v2.3.x (Scheduled for next PE feature release)
- master (mainline development branch)
The first Puppet Enterprise version including the stdlib module is Puppet Enterprise 1.2.
Compatibility
stdlib v2.1.x, v2.2.x
v2.1.x and v2.2.x of this module are designed to work with Puppet versions 2.6.x and 2.7.x. There are currently no plans for a Puppet 0.25 standard library module.
stdlib v2.3.x
While not yet released, the standard library may only work with Puppet 2.7.x.
Functions
Please see puppet doc -r function for documentation on each function. The
current list of functions is:
- getvar
- has_key
- loadyaml
- merge.rb
- validate_array
- validate_bool
- validate_hash
- validate_re
- validate_string
validate_hash
$somehash = { 'one' => 'two' }
validate\_hash($somehash)
getvar()
This function aims to look up variables in user-defined namespaces within puppet. Note, if the namespace is a class, it should already be evaluated before the function is used.
$namespace = 'site::data'
include "${namespace}"
$myvar = getvar("${namespace}::myvar")
