Issue #19998 has been updated by Amos Shapira.
I created Pull Reqeust https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/pull/140 which implements any2array. The other part, of making join() accept single-strings and just return them, is implemented in https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/pull/52, which was raised a year ago (Radmine #13202) ---------------------------------------- Feature #19998: Add "any2array" to puppet stdlib https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19998#change-87828 * Author: Amos Shapira * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Example scenario: I use extlookup() to read list of ldap server addresses from a .csv file then join() them in a string. In some environments (e.g. our old DC, Vagrant) there is only one value in the list, causing join() to fail because it receives a string where it expects an array. There are two ways to solve this that I can think about: 1. always convert anything into an array. So far I managed to do that with "flatten([ $list_of_ldap_servers ])". 2. make join() accept a single none-array value and treat it as an array of one member. I've just implemented "any2array" in stdlib to help with (1) and want to create a pull request for it as part of this issue, since I expect this to be useful in other situations. I intend to submit a proposed implementation of (2) in a separate issue. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
