Issue #7571 has been updated by Ben Hughes. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision Assignee set to Nigel Kersten
Thanks for the example code. I suspect this is a case of how much power do we want to allow people to really shoot themselves firmly in the foot. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7571: Title and Name attributes are able to be overwritten with parameterized classes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7571 Author: Jamison Fryman Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Seen against 2.6.4 and 2.7.0. Not sure if this is a regression. At a client site, demonstrating parameterized classes, discovered the ability to override both the $name and $title variables. Example code: class foo($name, $title) { notice("The name is ${name}") notice("The title is ${title}") } class { 'foo': name => 'bar', title => 'bar', } Expected output notice: Scope(Class[Foo]): The name is foo notice: Scope(Class[Foo]): The title is foo Received output: notice: Scope(Class[Foo]): The name is bar notice: Scope(Class[Foo]): The title is bar -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
