Bug when using a string variable with the same value as a perms body promise name

[Jean-Noël Rivasseau]

Hi, I am using 3.0.3 here.

If I use:

    vars:
        "backupHost" string =>"backup";

when I have the following defined:

body perms backup
{
    owners => {"backup"};
    groups => {"backup"};
    mode => "go-rwx";
}

cf-agent will error out during the parsing phase will the following error:

Body type mismatch for body reference "backup" in promise at line 46 of
/var/cfengine/inputs/backup.cf

My current workaround is:

    vars:
        "backupHost" string => execresult("/bin/echo backup", "noshell");

but obviously it's ugly. Can you fix this?

Thanks
Jean-Noel

PS: When will the bugzilla / Mantis or whatever will be ready?
