Issue #4536 has been updated by Markus Roberts. Priority changed from High to Low Affected version changed from 2.6.1rc2 to 0.25.5
This has been this way for going on two years at least. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #4536: scope.lookupvar should return a clone of the object, not the object itself http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4536 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Needs design decision Priority: Low Assigned to: Category: functions Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5 Branch: At present this code will destroy the content of a puppet variable: $foo = [1, 2] notice("bar is $bar") # 'bar is 12' $bar = inline_template('<% foo.shift %>') notice("bar is $bar") # 'bar is 2' This is certainly surprising behaviour, and it means that it is relatively easy to destroy the content of a puppet variable from a template. This would probably be better returning a clone of the object so, at least, that the most obvious top level actions don't destroy the content so easily. Perhaps even a dclone is appropriate... -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
