Title: Message Title

Reinhard Vicinus created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10098 String.new without formater does not convert ruby binary string to puppet string Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2019/10/10 8:38 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Reinhard Vicinus Puppet Version: 6.10 Puppet Server Version: 6.10 OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 18.04 I would expect that both String.new($binary_string) and String.new($binary_string, '%s') convert the binary string to a puppet string. But the first one does not. Here is an example: $x = { 'y' => 'test'} # This is a really ugly hack to create ASCII-8BIT encoded data: inline_template('<% @x["y"] = "test".force_encoding("ASCII-8BIT") %>') $v = $x['y']   $converts_string = String.new($v, '%s') $does_not_convert_string = String.new($v)   notice("v type: ${inline_template('<%= @v.encoding %>')}") notice("converts_string type: ${inline_template('<%= @converts_string.encoding %>')}") notice("does_not_convert_string type: ${inline_template('<%= @does_not_convert_string.encoding %>')}") Result with puppet apply: > puppet apply test.pp Notice: Scope(Class[main]): v type: ASCII-8BIT Notice: Scope(Class[main]): converts_string type: UTF-8 Notice: Scope(Class[main]): does_not_convert_string type: ASCII-8BIT Notice: Compiled catalog for node1 in environment production in 0.13 seconds Notice: Applied catalog in 0.18 seconds   Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
