Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6137 Name anonymous Object when bound to a type name. Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Thomas Hallgren Created: 2016/04/07 7:18 AM Fix Versions: PU 4.5.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Thomas Hallgren The new Object type introduced in PUP-5844 is anonymous and must be aliased to make it possible to refer to it by name. E.g. type MyObject = Object[{}] will currently create an alias "MyObject" or an anonymous Object type. This makes it hard to produce meaningful error messages about things that the Object definition may contain. To avoid this, the above _expression_ should actually name the object in case it is anonymous. In addition, it should also be possible to pass a name in the actual initialization hash for the Object type, e.g.: Object[{ name => 'MyObject' }] Since this names the object, an _expression_ like this, will now create an alias: type MyAlias = Object[{ name = 'MyObject'}] The created type can now be referred to by both MyAlias and MyObject.
