Issue #21186 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a report. Even though this turned out to be a non-issue, there are plenty of times when reports like this reveal serious problems. For example, recently Hiera data bindings were incapable of returning a `false` value for some weird reason. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21186: Hiera YAML False Bug https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21186#change-92802 * Author: Ti Leggett * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Ti Leggett * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.1 * Keywords: Hiera YAML boolean * Branch: ---------------------------------------- It seems puppet thinks that variables evaluate to true even when they are explicitly set to false in hiera YAML. In my searching it seems like this should be fixed but with hiera 1.2.1 and puppet 3.2.1 I'm still seeing this. In my YAML I have: <pre> # Java directives java : enable_jdk : false # Install the JDK as well as the JRE enable_v6 : true # Install Java 6 enable_v7 : false # Install Java 7 openjdk : true # Install OpenJDK sun : false # Install Sun </pre> And in one of my manifests I do something like: <pre> class java::install ( $parameters = hiera('java', []), ) { if $parameters['openjdk'] == true { if $parameters['enable_v6'] == true and $java::params::openjdk_6_jre { package { $java::params::openjdk_6_jre: ensure => latest, } if $parameters['enable_jdk'] == true and $java::params::openjdk_6_jdk { package { $java::params::openjdk_6_jdk: ensure => latest, } } } … </pre> No matter what it thinks it should install the JDK package even though the parameter is set to false. I've tried setting it 0, False, n, and N and it always evaluates to true. Is this a known bug and if so is there a workaround? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
