[Peter Huene (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Peter Huene created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6117 Unexpected result when using a type alias to a recursive variant. Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.4.1 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/04/01 12:05 PM Fix Versions: PUP 4.4.2 Priority: Normal Reporter: Peter Huene I would expect this code: type MixedScalar = Variant[Integer, MixedScalar] notice(foo =~ MixedScalar) to result in an error because MixedScalar is infinitely recursive in its definition. Instead of erroring, Puppet outputs: Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Which is even more perplexing.
