Issue #13679 has been updated by Jeff Weiss. Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient
After some internal discussion, the preferential path would be escaping. We have major concerns about the wholesale exclusion of variable interpolation for an arbitrary set of parameters. Today it's `dbpassword`, but it might also include `ldappassword`, and other various things in the further, which could lead to an unintuitive behaviour for users. Any chance you could take a crack at allowing for escaping the variables? ---------------------------------------- Bug #13679: dollar signs can't be used in puppet.conf https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13679#change-60350 Author: Daniel Friesen Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: settings Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/640 Plain dollar signs ($) can't be used inside puppet.conf. I tried quoting text with quotes and escaping with \ and neither work. This is important in the case of passwords. If you have a long mysql password for stored configs like "sdf^3wre$4aer..." you get an error saying that $4 is not defined. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
