This issue was assigned to a former Puppet Labs employee. Adding back to the pool of unreviewed issues. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5042: Node declarations shouldn't be allowed inside classes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5042 Author: Paul Berry Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: language Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet currently allows a node to be declared inside a class. For example: <pre> class foo { node bar { notice("hello") } } </pre> This is confusing because it makes it look like the node being defined is called "foo::bar", when in fact it is simply "bar". There's no good reason why a user should need to nest a node inside a class, and the presence of this unnecessary "feature" is complicating my efforts to make improvements in autoloading (e.g. feature #5041). I propose to modify the Puppet language so that all node declarations would have to be at toplevel, and the above example would be classified as a syntax error. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
