Issue #2379 has been updated by Luke Kanies. Subject changed from Variable named "memory" is clobbered in templates to Puppet::Util should not be included in Puppet::Parser::TemplateWrapper Status changed from Needs more information to Accepted Assigned to deleted (Luke Kanies) Priority changed from Normal to Low
This is because Puppet::Util is included in TemplateWrapper. This is probably unnecessary and could almost definitely be fixed relatively easily. In the meantime, you can use '@memory' as a trivial workaround. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2379: Puppet::Util should not be included in Puppet::Parser::TemplateWrapper http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2379 Author: Thomas Bellman Status: Accepted Priority: Low Assigned to: Category: functions Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: If I have a variable named $memory in my manifests, I can't access that from templates. Instead I get some semi-random number. node default { $memory = 4711 notice(inline_template("memory = <%= memory %>")) } This gives me the output notice: Scope(Node[default]): memory = 105436 but the exact number varies between runs. It seems to stay at approximately 100'000, though. Other variable names work fine. If I rename it to $xmemory, it works as expected. It isn't a clash with facter facts either, because facter doesn't report any fact named "memory". Even if it were, assignments inside the manifests override facts; if I use $memorysize in the example above (which is a fact), I get 4711 as expected. I tried to add some instrumentation to parser/templatewrapper.rb, but couldn't find find anything interresting. method_missing() isn't called for "memory", and result() doesn't call instance_variable_set() with "memory". Likewise, binding.memory doesn't exist. But my Ruby knowledge is fairly rudimentary, so take that bit of debugging with a grain of salt. This happens with at least 0.24.8 on CentOS 5.3, and a Git snapshot of 0.25 (769c8aa71e5b4855662314f13b1197853cdc843a) on Fedora 9. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
