Jira (PUP-7444) Regex match integer silently fails

Title: Message Title

Tom De Vylder created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7444 Regex match integer silently fails Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/04/12 2:47 AM Environment: Any AIO package with Ruby 2.x. Priority: Normal Reporter: Tom De Vylder TL;DR Please consider throwing a warning or error to raise awareness. Long version Please consider following snippet... $json_file = $some_id ? { /^1$|^2$|^3$|^4$|^5$|^8$|^9$|^10$|^14$/ => ${some_id}.json", default => "fallback-b${some_id}.json" } On Puppet 3.x this used to work flawlessly but after migrating to Puppet 4 it fails silently and picks default instead. While I recall regex matching to support strings only as being part of switching to Ruby 2.x I can't seem to find this to be documented in Puppet 4.x release notes. Silently failing makes it hard for (new) Puppet users to detect.
