Issue #12199 has been updated by Dominic Cleal.

Thanks for a huge list of test, I've copied them into my Augeas branch to test 
the new behaviour - they helped me find another bug.  The quoting behaviour I'm 
aiming at is compatible with Bourne shell quoting, which should already be 
familiar to users and admins and is easy for them to test against.

Could you please review this list of tests David, and make sure that we agree 
on the expected outputs?

augtool usage: https://gist.github.com/1703618

If it seems sensible to you, we can implement it in the Puppet provider too.

Bug #12199: augeas "set" silently truncates values
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12199

A simple augeas { '...': changes => 'set ... xxx' } can fail to put the 
complete value into the target while wrongly reporting a successful application.

Example manifest:

        define puppet::conf ($ensure) {
                augeas {
                        "puppet.conf_${name}" :
                                changes => "set 
/files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name} ${ensure}" ;
                        "puppet.conf_${name}_sq" :
                                changes => "set 
/files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name}_sq '${ensure}'" ;
                        "puppet.conf_${name}_dq" :
                                changes => "set 
/files/etc/puppet/puppet.conf/${name}_dq \"${ensure}\"" ;
                }
        }

        puppet::conf {
                "agent/server" :
                        ensure => 'puppetmaster-dev.edvbus' ;

                "agent/pluginsync" :
                        ensure => 'true' ;

                "test/sq" :
                        ensure => "'" ;
                "test/sqsq" :
                        ensure => "''" ;
                "test/sqsqsq" :
                        ensure => "'''" ;
                "test/sqsqsqsq" :
                        ensure => "''''" ;
                "test/dq" :
                        ensure => '"' ;
                "test/dqdq" :
                        ensure => '""' ;
                "test/dqdqdq" :
                        ensure => '"""' ;
                "test/dqdqdqdq" :
                        ensure => '""""' ;
                "test/truncated_dq" :
                        ensure => '"s"bc"d"ef' ;
                "test/truncated_sq" :
                        ensure => "'s'bc'd'ef" ;
                "test/truncated_dq_mix" :
                        ensure => '"s"bc\'d\'ef' ;
                "test/truncated_sq_mix" :
                        ensure => "'s'bc\"d\"ef" ;
                "test/truncated_space" :
                        ensure => "before after" ;                      
                "test/mix" :
                        ensure => "a\"b'c\"d'e" ;                       
        }

Result in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf (sorted for convenience): 

    [test]
    dqdqdqdq_sq=""""
    dqdqdq_sq="""
    dqdq_sq=""
    dq_sq="
    mix=a"b'c"d'e
    mix_dq=a
    mix_sq=a"b
    sq_dq='
    sqsq_dq=''
    sqsqsq_dq='''
    sqsqsqsq_dq=''''
    truncated_dq_mix=s
    truncated_dq_mix_sq="s"bc
    truncated_dq=s
    truncated_dq_sq="s"bc"d"ef
    truncated_space=before
    truncated_space_dq=before after
    truncated_space_sq=before after
    truncated_sq_dq='s'bc'd'ef
    truncated_sq_mix_dq='s'bc
    truncated_sq_mix=s
    truncated_sq=s

    
As you can see, depending on the used quoting style, different parts of the 
values are silently truncated. Only values that cannot be written at all into 
the file cause an error.

I've tested this with 2.6. on squeeze and 2.7.10 on centos 6.2 with the same 
results.
