Comments? ---------------------------------------- Bug #3571: "require" function is named badly. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3571 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: Brice Figureau Category: functions Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: The require function only works with classes. It should be called "require_class" in that case. This isn't at all transparent to read: <pre> class one { require("two") ... } </pre> I naively expected the syntax to look like: <pre> class one { require(Class["two"]) ... } </pre> and to be able to require any kind of object, but given this function can only require classes, I suggest this would be a big improvement. <pre> class one { require_class("two") ... } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
