Issue #9850 has been updated by Jacob Helwig. Description updated Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information
Small bit of clarification between parameters, and properties: * Properties are things that can be queried from the state of the system, and are generally things that make up parts of the resource itself. * Parameters are meta-information about the resource, and aren't queried from the system itself. They're used to tell Puppet information it needs to be able to manage the resource. >From the name of the parameter you provided as an example, it looks like it >should actually be a property (but this is just a guess). Just to clarify what the bug report is about: The bug being reported is that parameters, and properties do not behave the same when `:array_matching => :all` is specified, with regards to a single value being specified in the manifest (parameters just pass the value, while properties wrap it in an array). Is that an accurate summary? ---------------------------------------- Bug #9850: Arrays changed to strings in custom type parameters https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9850 Author: Philip Jameson Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: I'm currently configuring a puppet setup. Puppetmaster and puppet client are both version 2.7.3, and ruby version 2.8.7 patch level 352 I was creating a custom type, and had an element as a parameter. When that parameter had a single element, puppet sent it as a string, rather than as an array. If I changed it from a parameter to a property, it showed up correctly on the client as an array. Excerpt from type (nothing special here): newparam(:allowed_ips, :array_matching => :all) do defaultto :absent end In the provider, it then would be an array only if more than one element was specified in the manifest.
