Title: Message Title

Poil created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6300 Float from hiera is not auto converted into string Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.8.7 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Puppet Server Created: 2016/05/16 6:06 AM Environment: CentOS 7 Priority: Normal Reporter: Poil In hiera I have mysql::version: 4.4 In my manifests I have : $stripped_version = regsubst($version, '\.', '') It gave me this error Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: regsubst(): bad target Float:`5.5' If I add simple quote around my hiera value, it is working but in your documentation you say Numbers are automatically converted to strings when interpolated into a string. The automatic conversion uses decimal (base 10) notation.
