Issue #9850 has been updated by Jacob Helwig. Subject changed from Arrays changed to strings in custom type parameters to Parameters and properties should handle single values the same with ':array_matching => :all' Status changed from Needs More Information to Accepted Target version set to Telly
Throwing together a quick test type/provider to test this out, I found the following behavior when retrieving the value from `resource[:foo]` in the provider: * Parameters * Single value specified as a string in .pp file: String * Single-element array in .pp file: String * Multi-element array in .pp file: Array * Property * Single value specified as a string in .pp file: Array * Single-element array in .pp file: Array * Multi-element array in .pp file: Array So, the two definitely handle things differently, but I can't think of a reason why this would be desirable. ---------------------------------------- Bug #9850: Parameters and properties should handle single values the same with ':array_matching => :all' https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9850 Author: Philip Jameson Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Jacob Helwig Category: Target version: Telly 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.
