Issue #8814 has been updated by Nan Liu.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Target version set to 2.7.x
Keywords set to Ruby 1.9.2
Confirmed Ruby 1.9.2 does not handle rand with string, and the patch seems
sensible:
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :002 > rand(4)
=> 1
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :003 > rand('4')
TypeError: can't convert String into Integer
from (irb):3:in `rand'
from (irb):3
from /Users/nan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :004 > rand('4'.to_i)
=> 1
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :005 >

Bug #8814: fqdn_rand() causes can't convert String into Integer error
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8814
Author: Noah Diewald

Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1
Keywords: Ruby 1.9.2
Branch:
This is occurring in version 2.7.1 and in the master branch. I'm running ruby
1.9.2p290 on Arch Linux.
The section of my manifest looks like this:
<pre>
$rand_hour = fqdn_rand(23,5445)
$rand_minute = fqdn_rand(59,954)
</pre>
>From puppetd, I get:
<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: can't
convert String into Integer at /etc/puppet/manifests/mymanifest.pp:4 on node
example.com
</pre>
>From puppetmasterd, I get:
<pre>
err: can't convert String into Integer at /etc/puppet/manifests/mymanifest.pp:4
on node example.com
</pre>
I tried a number of things, like using only one argument to fqdn_rand() but it
turns out my version of Ruby's rand function doesn't like string arguments and
that fqdn_rand's arguments are strings when they reach rand.
I've included a patch that got things working for me.
