PUP-6695

Issue Type:	Bug
Affects Versions:	PUP 4.6.2
Assignee:	Unassigned
Components:	Language
Created:	2016/09/09 9:10 AM
Environment:	Pupppet Agent 1.6.2, Puppet Server 2.6.0, unchanged manifests for over a year and originally written on Puppet Agent 4.0 and Puppet Server 2.0
Priority:	Blocker
Reporter:	Curtis Ruck

It appears that the symbol to string conversion for the equality operator in the puppet language has broken. We only noticed this when Puppet Server 2.6.0 came in this morning, but have recreated it with a puppet apply command.

Essentially, we have puppet functions that lookup hiera boolean values, and return ensure symbols such as present, absent.

In the below sample, we receive this output, but we used to receive "complex: b is present"
hiera's yaml

feature_test: true

modules/features/lib/puppet/functions/features/ensure.rb

Puppet::Functions.create_function('features::ensure') do

  dispatch :ensure do

    param 'String', :key

end

  def ensure(key)

    return :present if call_function('features::is',key)

    :absent

end

end

modules/features/lib/puppet/functions/features/is.rb

Puppet::Functions.create_function('features::is') do

  dispatch :is do

    param 'String', :key

end

  def is(key)

    key = "feature_#{key}"

    call_function(:hiera,key,false)

  rescue

    return false

end

end

test.pp

$bboolean = features::is(test)

$b = features::ensure(test)

if $b == present {

  notify{'simple: b is present':}

} else {

  notify{"complex: b is not present [$bboolean, $b]":}

command

puppet apply test.pp --modulepath modules --hiera_config

output

Notice: complex: b is not present [true, present]
