Jira (PUP-6948) generate() should allow calls with variable number of arguments

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-6948   Re: generate() should allow calls with variable number of arguments The generate() function already takes a variable number of arguments. Don't understand what you are proposing. If you mean you want to expand a number of arguments in an array as if they are extra arguments you can do so in 3.x with future parser and in 4.x using the so called "splat" operator. Example using puppet function as illustration # capture a variable number of arguments into an array function example(*$args) { notice $args } $arr = [4,5,6] example(1,2,3,*$arr) puppet apply pup6948.pp Notice: Scope(Class[main]): [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] The generate function has an arity of -2 which means it takes at least one argument. It passes all the additional arguments on to the exec.
