Issue #3773 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected
Timeout is a ruby method and thus can't be used as a variable name; the same is true of other methods (print, require, sleep, lambda, etc.) and reserved words (def, while, if, class, etc.). You may be able to access them with @-notation (@timeout) but it's probably best to use a non-conflicting name, such as timeout_value, as you have done. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3773: Can't use "timeout" as a variable name in an erb template http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3773 Author: Robin Bowes Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: template erb Branch: I got this error when puppet tried to parse a template: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse template pulse/lvs.cf.virtual.erb: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) at /etc/puppet/modules/pulse/manifests/config.pp:121 on node a003.private.a.statcounter.com I debugged the content of the template until I found that a template containing this single line caused the same error: timeout = <%= timeout %> I worked around this by changing the variable name to timeout_value: timeout = <%= timeout_value %> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
