I suspect this is a duplicate of a feature somewhere... ---------------------------------------- Feature #3300: appending to variables already defined in this scope http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3300 Author: Xavier Delaruelle Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: Luke Kanies Category: parser Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Hello, As mentioned in the doc, it is possible since 0.24.6 to append to variables already defined in a different scope. But when appending to a variable already defined in the scope, like in the following example: `define foo ($val) { $bar = [ 'val1', 'val2' ] if $val != '' { $bar += [ $val ] } }` puppet returns the following error: `Cannot append, variable bar is defined in this scope at /tmp/test.pp:8 on node host` Appending to variables already defined in the scope could be useful when we want to adapt the behavior of a class or a define depending of variable values.
