[Eric Putnam (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Eric Putnam created an issue   Puppet Strings / PDOC-209 Ruby Parser Evaluates(?) backslashes in Regexps Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/02/04 1:08 PM Environment: Ruby 2.4.0p0 darwin puppet-strings unreleased parser 2.4.0.2 yard 0.9.12   Priority: Normal Reporter: Eric Putnam When the Ruby Parser evaluates a Puppet::ResourceApi type, some attributes have data types with regexes. When these types are added to the AST (for documentation), the backslashes are not preserved, which changes the regex. Example: id: { type: 'Variant[Pattern[/\A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\Z/], Pattern[/\A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{16}\Z/], Pattern[/\A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{40}\Z/]]', behaviour: :namevar, desc: 'The ID of the key you want to manage.', }, The variant type here will become a string_literal in the AST with the value: {{Variant[Pattern[/A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F] {8} Z/], Pattern[/A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F] {16} Z/], Pattern[/A(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F] {40} Z/]]}} Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.5.1#75006-sha1:7df2574) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
