Jira (PUP-6052) Docs: rectification concerning an example of Structure

Title: Message Title

Francois Lafont commented on PUP-6052   Re: Docs: rectification concerning an example of Structure Henrik Lindberg, sorry I disagree with a little part of your comment. Just for your first example: Struct[{ path => Optional[String[1]]}] You said: "Means that path must be set, and that it can be set to undef or a String of min length 1". I disagree. For me, its means: "the key path is optional, and if present it can and must be set to undef or String of min length 1". Example to confirm: ~# puppet --version 4.3.2   ~# puppet apply -e 'notice( {} =~ Struct[ {path => Optional[String[1]]} ] )' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for puppet.lss1.backbone.education in environment production in 0.06 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.20 seconds In fact, the case you describe "Means that path must be set, and that it can be set to undef or a String of min length 1" for me is impossible. In other words, if the key can be undef, then the key can be not present (which is absolutely not a problem by the way). And for me, these 2 structures are strictly equivalent: Struct[{ path => Optional[String[1]]}] Struct[{ Optional[path] => Optional[String[1]]}] Examples: ~# puppet apply -e 'notice( {} =~ Struct[ {path => Optional[String[1]]} ] )' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for puppet.lss1.backbone.education in environment production in 0.06 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.20 seconds   ~# puppet apply -e 'notice( { path => undef } =~ Struct[ {path => Optional[String[1]]} ] )' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for puppet.lss1.backbone.education in environment production in 0.06 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.20 seconds   ~# puppet apply -e 'notice( { path => undef } =~ Struct[ { Optional[path] => Optional[String[1]]} ] )' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for puppet.lss1.backbone.education in environment production in 0.06 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.19 seconds   ~# puppet apply -e 'notice( {} =~ Struct[ { Optional[path] => Optional[String[1]]} ] )' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for puppet.lss1.backbone.education in environment production in 0.06 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.19 seconds Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.12#64027-sha1:e3691cc) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
