And note that I don't ever mean that we'd parse classes that haven't been parsed yet, just evaluate class objects that are sitting around unevaluated. It's a much better form of lazy evaluation than we do right now, which just has us waiting to do any evaluation until we've run out of other stuff to do. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5517: behavior change within 2.6 makes it impossible to override class parameters of "included" parametrized classes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5517#change-83612 Author: Peter Meier Status: Accepted Priority: High Assignee: eric sorenson Category: language Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: 3.0.2 Keywords: parameterized_classes Branch: In 2.6.1 the following recipe: <pre> class a( $b_c = { 'b' => 'foo' } ) { notice $a::b_c if $a::b_c { notice $a::b_c['b'] } } class b { class{'a': b_c => false } } class b::c inherits b { Class['a']{ b_c => { 'b' => 'bleh' } } } class b::d { include ::b::c } include b::d </pre> produces the following output: <pre> $ puppet foo.pp notice: Scope(Class[A]): bbleh notice: Scope(Class[A]): bleh </pre> Which is what I expected. However with 2.6.3 it produces the following output: <pre> # puppet foo.pp notice: Scope(Class[A]): false </pre> Imho likely the changes for #4778 and #5074 are responsible for that behavior change. However this makes it impossible to overwrite parameters of a "included" parametrized class in a subclass. There are only ugly workarounds for that problem and I think this should actually work as it did within 2.6.1. Otherwise the usefulness of parametrized classes is quite reduced. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
