Issue #12577 has been updated by Roland Kaminski.
Hi,
recently we were trying to assemble a file made of different parts. We stumbled
upon, in my opinion, strange behavior of the append operator. The example below
produces two different files with different content. From what I gather from
the language guide both files should contain the string “foo” but the second
file does not. We are using the debian-squeeze version of the puppet client and
master (I do not have a newer version at hand to test whether this has already
been addressed.
Note that exchanging the define with a class and then including class bar would
result in two files with the string “foobar”. The language guide is unclear
about such cases too.
Regards, Roland
class foo {
$foo = "foo"
define bar () {
$foo::foo += "bar"
}
bar { "bar": }
file {
"/root/foo":
content => "$foo";
"/root/foobar":
content => $foo;
}
}
