[Daniel Parks (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Daniel Parks created an issue   Puppet / PUP-9296 ^ and $ shouldn't match newlines in Pattern Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/10/31 11:28 PM Labels: customer0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Daniel Parks Pattern currently matches ^ and $ to newlines as well as start and end of string (multiline mode). It would be less surprising if they behaved like \A and \z (or maybe \Z). I've seen a number of places where people use the wrong anchors. The most obvious place is in stdlib, e.g. Stdlib::Unixpath. ❯ puppet apply -e 'notice("foo\nbar\nbah" =~ Pattern["^bar$"])' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true   ❯ puppet apply -e 'notice("foo\nbar\nbah" =~ Pattern["\\Abar\\z"])' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): false   ❯ puppet apply -e 'notice("bar" =~ Pattern["\\Abar\\z"])' Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true I've stripped out some lines to make this more legible.
