Issue #6553 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
Did we ever make any promises around the behavior with arrays for these items? In docs or anywhere? If not, I'm perfectly happy making the undefined behavior explicitly fail without the requirement for a whole release for deprecation. I don't believe this was ever defined behavior, and I don't believe using arrays for these parameters is at all widespread. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6553: handling of array values in exec provider is inconsistent. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6553 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: exec Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.6.5 Keywords: wtf Branch: In the `exec` provider we handle arrays as arguments inconsistently: exec { "foo": timeout => [1] } # works exec { "foo": tries => [1] } # boom! We should make a call on which of these two is desired, then implement it. If necessary a deprecation period might be needed to ensure that we don't surprise anyone using this (unintuitive) features. Oh, and: exec { "foo": timeout => [1,2,3] } # guess which one we use? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
