Issue #13338 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.
If more than about 20 percent of the settings are "string", then having the sane default is nicer. Having to type the same thing every time is not much fun from a developer point of view, unless it has some really compelling advantages. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13338: consider making ":type" parameter required for settings. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13338#change-58533 Author: Chris Price Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: As part of #7749, I've moved the typing for settings to something a good deal closer to "strongly typed" than it was previously. We no longer use any regular expression stuff to try to "guess" what type a setting is based on its value. The current behavior is basically: "If you don't explicitly specify a type, then it's a :string". Personally, I'd be in favor of getting rid of even that fallback, and making :type mandatory. Perhaps this could be discussed and we can get some consensus, and then this ticket can either be closed or acted upon... the implementation would be trivial. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
