Issue #4748 has been updated by R.I. Pienaar aka Volcane.
On 0.25.5 we get a file with nothing in it - zero bytes, 2.6.1rc4 doesnt even create the file because content => undef I am not sure if this is intended behavior not being a big user of inheritance, but it sure seems odd. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4748: Variable scope confusing when including subclasses http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4748 Author: Felix Frank Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected version: Keywords: variables, scope, inheritance Branch: When including a class that inherits another, variables used only in the inheriting class still seem to be scoped to the context of the original include of the base class. <pre> class base { file{"/tmp/foo": content => "base"} } class foo inherits base { notify{$variable:} File["/tmp/foo"] { content => $variable } } class special { $variable = "special" include foo } include base include special </pre> With thanks to Volcane for the cleaned up example code. Reproduced with versions 0.25.5 and 2.6.1rc4. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
