Issue #10237 has been updated by Stefan Schulte. Assignee changed from Stefan Schulte to Jacob Helwig
Sorry I addressed a question to you but haven't set the assignee properly. The main question is how can I decide if <pre> property => [] </pre> was written because the user wants to ignore the property (they should then see a warning) or if the user wants to remove any current value of the property and is using that statment because a) they alaways thought this is the way puppet behaves (like Steve thought) b) they know that puppet will behave that way in the future. ---------------------------------------- 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: Jacob Helwig 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.
