Issue #9518 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
I have checked, and this behaviour actually goes all the way back to the very first introduction of the feature; it has always returned the mutated top-scope variable. I suspect this is because there are not really "nested" values, only scoped name/value bindings, so the result finds the most local variable with the name test. I think you have successfully discovered an "undefined" behaviour, but I can validate that it occurs. Thanks for the report. ---------------------------------------- Bug #9518: Array scope different from string scope: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9518 Author: Zach Leslie Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1 Keywords: Branch: The following code: <pre> $var=["top"] class test1 { $var+=["test1"] } class test2 { $var+=["test2"] notice("Top: $::var Test1: ${test1::var} Test2: ${test2::var}") } class{ "test1": } class{ "test2": } </pre> produces: <pre> notice: Scope(Class[Test2]): Top: top Test1: toptest1 Test2: toptest2 </pre> If the array is changed to a string as such: <pre> $var="top" class test1 { $var+="test1" } class test2 { $var+="test2" notice("Top: $::var Test1: ${test1::var} Test2: ${test2::var}") } class{ "test1": } class{ "test2": } </pre> The behavior changes. <pre> notice: Scope(Class[Test2]): Top: toptest1test2 Test1: toptest1test2 Test2: toptest1test2 </pre> This appears to be inconsistent scoping and should be fixed. I've been informed that its been around for a long time. Tested on 2.7.1 and 2.7.4. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
