Issue #21370 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen. Category set to templates Status changed from Unreviewed to Ready for Documentation Assignee set to Charlie Sharpsteen Keywords changed from template, special keywords to wrapper_methods
What you are seeing is the effect of #19058. In 3.x, Puppet variables referenced inside templates need to be prefixed with an @ symbol. Without this prefix, you are getting the return value of the `file` method [which is part of our TemplateWrapper](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/parser/templatewrapper.rb#L16-L20). Prior to #19058, this method was being masked by Puppet variables. In summary: the behavior of the variable is expected and part of the template documentation. However, the template documentation does need to be updated to cover the existence of methods like `file` that are provided by the TemplateWrapper so their existence can be discovered without browsing the code. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21370: Variable evalution in template changed from Puppet 3.0.2 to Puppet 3.2.1 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21370#change-93208 * Author: Jens Bräuer * Status: Ready for Documentation * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: templates * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.1 * Keywords: wrapper_methods * Branch: ---------------------------------------- I used the parameter name "$file" in one define. Within the define, a template is rendered via file/content. Within the the template, I access the named parameter via "<%= file %>". Using Puppet 2.7.x and Puppet 3.0.2, this worked as expected. However with the upgrade to Puppet version 3.2.1 "file" now evaluates to the path of the template. Please find a minimal example here: https://github.com/jbraeuer/finna-be-wallhack/ Using Puppet 3.0.2 the file has the content "File is bar". Using Puppet 3.2.1 the file has the content "File is /home/jbraeuer/finna-be-wallhack/filebug/templates/example.erb" In both cases Puppet is run using ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux] on Ubuntu 12.04. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
