Bug #5042: Node declarations shouldn't be allowed inside classes
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5042
Author: Paul Berry
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Paul Berry
Category: language
Target version: queued
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords:
Branch:
Puppet currently allows a node to be declared inside a class. For example:
<pre>
class foo {
node bar {
notice("hello")
}
}
</pre>
This is confusing because it makes it look like the node being defined is
called "foo::bar", when in fact it is simply "bar".
There's no good reason why a user should need to nest a node inside a class,
and the presence of this unnecessary "feature" is complicating my efforts to
make improvements in autoloading (e.g. feature #5041).
I propose to modify the Puppet language so that all node declarations would
have to be at toplevel, and the above example would be classified as a syntax
error.
