Issue #16268 has been updated by eric sorenson. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information Assignee set to Jochen Schalanda
Jochen, did you see some documentation which led you to expect this to work? Or was it syntax that seems like it would be good to have? ---------------------------------------- Bug #16268: Hash literals not allowed inside conditional block https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16268#change-70872 Author: Jochen Schalanda Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Jochen Schalanda Category: language Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: dsl Branch: The Puppet DSL currently doesn’t allow hash literals expressions being used as the value in a conditional block. Using a temporary variable which holds the value works, though. Non-working example: $test = undef ? { undef => { 'test' => 'success' }, default => 'foo', } notice($test) Result with Puppet 2.7.19: $ puppet apply conditional_hash.pp Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '{'; expected '}' at /tmp/conditional_hash.pp:2 on node localhost Working example: $my_hash = { 'test' => 'success' } $test = undef ? { undef => $my_hash, default => 'foo', } notice($test) Result: $ puppet apply conditional_hash2.pp notice: Scope(Class[main]): {"test"=>"success"} notice: Finished catalog run in 0.03 seconds -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
