Issue #12050 has been updated by Henrik Lindberg.
This does not happen in 3.0 The result of applying the script in the provided gist is: <pre> /Stage[main]/D/Notify[d]/message: defined 'message' as 'd' /Stage[main]/B/A[define_something]/Exec[A-foo]/returns: executed successfully </pre> ---------------------------------------- Bug #12050: Use of metaparameters inside defines are incorrectly reported as dynamic variable lookups under certain conditions https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12050#change-73414 Author: Tejas Viswanath Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: parser Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: parser deprecation Branch: Consider this I have a define: define A($x) { ... if $require { SomeResource["name"] { require +> $require } } } and later use it in a class: class B { A { "define_something": $x => ... # no require specified here } } This works fine. However, if I now use Class B within a Class C, and have a require associated with Class B, like: Class C { class { "D": } class { "B": require => Class["D"], } } I would see: warning: Dynamic lookup of $require at <script that has the define>:<line number of if $require> is deprecated. Support will be removed in Puppet 2.8. Use a fully-qualified variable name (e.g., $classname::variable) or parameterized classes. So to summarize: 1. Create a define that uses a metaparameter 1. Use that define in a class. Don't specify that metaparameter here 1. Use this class in another class, while specifying the metaparameter .. and you'll see this warning. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
