Issue #6780 has been reported by Pieter van de Bruggen.

----------------------------------------
Feature #6780: Implement type checking/coercion for action args 
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6780

Author: Pieter van de Bruggen
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: interfaces
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


The expectation is that actions should be able to transparently have 
typechecked signatures, and that automatic coercions will happen for certain 
argument types.

Consider:

    Puppet::Interface::Catalog.action :apply, [Puppet::Resource::Catalog] do 
|catalog|
      # `catalog` is expected to be a Puppet::Resource::Catalog, and will be 
automatically coerced
      # into one if passed certain types (e.g. a String from the command line)
    end

    Puppet::Interface::Facts.action :find, [String] do |query| ... end

This makes interfacing the rich type system of Ruby with the command line's 
simple String-based interface simple.
