Jira (FACT-1875) Unable to use "confine" with structured facts -- documentation is incorrect

Josh Cooper commented on FACT-1875   Re: Unable to use "confine" with structured facts -- documentation is incorrect What's really going on is the statement resolves the value of the structured fact and make it the key. So   confine Facter.value(:os)['distro']['id'] => 'Ubuntu' is resolved to the following when running on Ubuntu: confine 'Ubuntu' => 'Ubuntu' Using the block form avoids that confusion. It also seems possible to us dotted notation (at least in Facter 4): confine :'os.distro.id' => 'Ubuntu' Having a lint check for this would be handy, cc Ben Ford, Craig Gumbley Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
