Issue #10237 has been updated by Jacob Helwig. Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient
I don't think the change proposed in [pull request 174](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/174) can/should be done in a point release, since it affects all types that have properties/parameters supporting arrays with a rather large change in behavior. I'm not convinced that it needs a full deprecation cycle (not going in until Telly+1), however. The change may be fine as-is rebased against master, but we'll need to be very careful about potential accidental behavior changes introduced as a result of this. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10237: An empty array of principals to k5login type does not empty the .k5login. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10237 Author: Steve Traylen Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Stefan Schulte Category: RAL Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/10237 Running 2.6.6 on RHEL6.1 and starting with a non-empty /root/.k5login # cat /root/.k5login [email protected] The the following configuration k5login {'/root/.k5login': principals => []} Results in an unchanged /root/.k5login still containing the principal. I believe in this case the file should be emptied. In the null string case the file is emptied. k5login {'/root/.k5login': principals => ''} however in the this case nothing happens k5login {'/root/.k5login': } which is quite possibly correct? Certainly the zero length array should be empty, it's important to me since I'm returning the array from a custom function. Apologies for not confirming with the latest greatest puppet, I'll set one up shortly for confirming these kind of things are still present if they are. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
