Issue #21567 has been reported by Adrien Thebo. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21567: Canonized type names and resource titles can only be looked up by creating a Puppet::Resource https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21567
* Author: Adrien Thebo * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- When creating a new `Puppet::Resource` instance, the new object canonizes a number of values like the type and title for a given resource. Moreover the `Puppet::Resource` is the only class that can create these canonized values. This means that in a number of places we are forced to create a new Puppet resource with all the work that entails just to grab a single value and throw away everything else for the garbage collector. - - - In order to get a canonized type name, a new `Puppet::Resource` has to be created just to extract the canonized type, and that `Puppet::Resource` is then thrown away: * https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/parser/ast/resource_defaults.rb#L15 * https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/parser/collector.rb#L77 * https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/transaction/report.rb#L339 - - - The same problem occurs when trying to generate a resource reference. When the catalog needs to look up a resource by title, it has to create a [new resource](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/resource/catalog.rb#L367) to determine the resource reference that's being used to index the actual resource. The Puppet::Resource itself has a method to [look up](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.2.2/lib/puppet/resource.rb#L226) an identical resource in the catalog. This is tangentially related to #15106 because `Puppet::Resource::Catalog#resource` generates a new resource every time that method is invoked, and inspecting the resource triggers #15106 in certain conditions. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
