Bug #16558: Boolean properties not working in ruby providers
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16558

Author: Raphaël Pinson
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: provider
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: development
Keywords: provider,property
Branch: 


When writing a ruby provider for a type, it is not possible to use boolean 
properties. The reason lies in `lib/puppet/property.rb`:

<pre>
  def sync
    devfail "Got a nil value for should" unless should
    set(should)
  end
</pre>

which fails when `should == false`, which is a correct target value for a 
boolean.

When replacing this with:

<pre>
  def sync
    devfail "Got a nil value for should" if should.nil?
    set(should)
  end
</pre>

it works fine.
