↑ This is funny. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12479: Regression: Regex matching against non-existant facts results in false-positive https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12479 Author: Nicolas Simonds Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Non-existant facts are stringify-ing under the hood as something, which causes them to match regexes, despite returning nil when otherwise asked. A simple bash script to test: ---- #!/bin/bash for LOLWUT in {a..z} do cat <<- EOF > /tmp/test.pp case \$wtf { /$LOLWUT/: { notice("The fact[\$wtf] matches the regex /$LOLWUT/") } default: { notice("The fact[\$wtf] does NOT match the regex /$LOLWUT/") } } notice(\$facility) EOF puppet apply /tmp/test.pp done ---- Expected result: All notices that the non-existant fact doesn't match. Actual result: Various and sundry notices that it matched. BAD PUPPET! NO COOKIE! -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
