Issue #9848 has been updated by Patrick Carlisle.
Should this even be allowed? Semantically it seems weird to me. I'm inclined to agree with the argument jcbollinger gives in the linked email thread. ---------------------------------------- Bug #9848: Variable interpolation in class parameters seems random https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9848#change-56601 Author: Carlos Sanchez Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: parameterized classes Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1 Keywords: parameter variable class interpolation evaluation Branch: In class parameters, things like x="x", y="y${x}" don't always evaluate right (y="yx"), seems random. I'm using 2.7.1 <pre> class test1( $servicex = "sonar", $logfoldera = "${homex}/logs", $logfoldere = "${homey}/logs", $logfolderh = "${homez}/logs", $logfolder = "${homex}/logs", $homex = "/var/${servicex}", $homey = "/var/${servicex}", $homez = "/var/${servicex}") { notice($homex) notice($homey) notice($homez) notice("-----") notice($logfoldera) notice($logfoldere) notice($logfolderh) } </pre> output : <pre> notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /var/sonar notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /var/sonar notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /var/sonar notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): ----- notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /var/sonar/logs notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /logs notice: Scope(Class[Test1]): /logs </pre> Note the last two messages should print "/var/sonar/logs" Ordering the paramenters in the order they are needed gets the same result. Just by changing the name of the parameters from class test1 to test2 I get different evaluations of the variables, one is right and two are wrong, you can see that in [this gist](https://gist.github.com/1250837) Commented on [the user list](https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-users/x_BCxE6SQcM/discussion) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
