marking as duplicate of #9848 ---------------------------------------- Bug #19025: inconsistent behavior when using the value of one class parameter to initialize another https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19025#change-82367 Author: Joshua Hoblitt Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 3.0.2 Keywords: Branch: The behaviour seen in the test1 and test2 cases below is highly surprising. I feel that this should either work consistently or the class definition should fail to compile instead of magically instantiating an undef $y. $ puppet --version 3.0.2 $ cat test1.pp class x ($y = 1, $z = $y) { notify{"y = ${y}": } notify{"z = ${z}": } } include x $ puppet apply test1.pp Warning: Config file /home/jhoblitt/.puppet/hiera.yaml not found, using Hiera defaults Notice: z = Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[z = ]/message: defined 'message' as 'z = ' Notice: y = 1 Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[y = 1]/message: defined 'message' as 'y = 1' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.07 seconds [jhoblitt@nvo-test1 tests]$ cat test2.pp class x ($y = 1, $z = $y) { notify{"y = ${y}": } notify{"z = ${z}": } } class{ 'x': } $ puppet apply test2.pp Warning: Config file /home/jhoblitt/.puppet/hiera.yaml not found, using Hiera defaults Notice: z = Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[z = ]/message: defined 'message' as 'z = ' Notice: y = 1 Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[y = 1]/message: defined 'message' as 'y = 1' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.12 seconds [jhoblitt@nvo-test1 tests]$ cat test3.pp class x ($y = 1, $z = $y) { notify{"y = ${y}": } notify{"z = ${z}": } } class{ 'x': y => 2 } $ puppet apply test3.pp Warning: Config file /home/jhoblitt/.puppet/hiera.yaml not found, using Hiera defaults Notice: y = 2 Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[y = 2]/message: defined 'message' as 'y = 2' Notice: z = 2 Notice: /Stage[main]/X/Notify[z = 2]/message: defined 'message' as 'z = 2' Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.08 seconds -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
