Not allowing variable to end with '-' is good as it also resolves ambiguities regarding minus as in $b-$c, $b--$a. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10146: Puppet interpolates variables differently in 2.7.x https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10146 Author: Philip Gardner Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: documentation Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.5 Keywords: Branch: I'm not sure when this changed, but I recently upgraded from 2.6.7 to 2.7.5. Given: file { "/usr/local/$lsbdistid-$architecture": ensure => directory } In 2.6.7 the following would generate a directory name called "/usr/local/CentOS-x86_64": However, in 2.7.5, this now creates a directory called "/usr/local/-x86_64" If you escape the variables, the resource is created correctly, however this wasn't clear until I jumped on IRC. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
