Issue #16246 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Keywords set to windows backslash
This works as expected:
<pre>
$ puppet apply -e "notice('foo\\bar')"
notice: Scope(Class[main]): foo\bar
</pre>
As does:
<pre>
$ puppet apply -e 'notice("foo\\bar")'
notice: Scope(Class[main]): foo\bar
</pre>
But using a manifest does not:
<pre>
$ cat backslash.pp
notice('foo\\bar')
$ puppet apply backslash.pp
notice: Scope(Class[main]): foo\\bar
</pre>
Interestingly, the lexer defines a backslash token:
<pre>
TOKENS.add_token(
...
'\\' => :BACKSLASH,
</pre>
But `BACKSLASH` it is never used anywhere.
Workaround, don't escape single backslashes, or use double quotes.

Bug #16246: Double backslashes in single quote strings should be interpreted as
single
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16246#change-70611
Author: Erik Dalén
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category:
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18
Keywords: windows backslash
Branch:
Double backslashes in single quoted strings should be interpreted as single
backslashes but aren't.
The following manifest:
notice('foo\\bar')
Gives:
notice: Scope(Class[main]): foo\\bar
This is not the behavior described at
