Issue #7434 has been updated by Zach Leslie. Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
---------------------------------------- Bug #7434: Mangled stringification of regexes causes bogus node titles and conflicts https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7434 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: When using regex nodes, we determine the title of the resulting node construct by: * Stringifying the regex. * Deleting all instances of characters that are on a secret list. (See issue #7423.) If you have two regex nodes whose regexen match a disjunct set of requests but yield identical strings post-munging, they'll show up as a duplicate node definition and all compilation requests will fail. node /\wa[ve]s/ { # matches strings like havs, baes, cavs, javs, daes } node /w[ave]s/ { # matches either was, wvs, or wes } On agent: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Node 'waves' is already defined at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:28; cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:32 on node hawkmaster.magpie.lan warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Dan Bode tells me this also presents a problem for introspection, as the actual titles of the node definitions can't be reconstructed by their names in the graph.
