Issue #4748 has been updated by Felix Frank.
James, yes I was referring to the thread as visible in the Google group. You're right of course, but I'm inclined to trust Luke's judgment on the issue at hand. And it sounds as if this particular problem cannot be overcome easily. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4748: Variable scope confusing when including subclasses http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4748 Author: Felix Frank Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Paul Berry Category: language Target version: Affected version: development 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.
