Jira (PUP-7757) Successful parsing of timestamp should raise error unless complete string is parsed

[Thomas Hallgren (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7757 Successful parsing of timestamp should raise error unless complete string is parsed Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: PUP 5.0.0, PUP 4.10.4 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/07/06 4:40 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Thomas Hallgren The following puppet _expression_ is valid: notice(Timestamp('1969-08-20T20:18:00 UTC, one giant leap for mankind')) will run without errors and notice: 1969-08-20T20:18:00.000000000 UTC This is because one of the default formats successfully parsed the string and managed to satisfy all of its format specifiers. It would be desirable if Puppet could detect that the string contains trailing garbage and raise an error. Doing so is not trivial however. The Timestamp class currently relies on the DateTime#strptime function which provides no means to detect the garbage so solving this means writing a new parser.
