Bug #22276: puppet displays a bogus warning about escape characters
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22276
* Author: Thomas Vander Stichele

----------------------------------------
I have the following file resource:
file { '/etc/cron.d/backup-couchdb-feat':
ensure => file,
content => "# created by puppet
0 5 * * * root cd /srv/backup/couchdb/feat; echo `date` dumping feat >>
/var/log/backup-couchdb-feat.log; couchdb-dump -u ${couchdb_username} -p
${couchdb_password} http://localhost:5985/feat 2>>
/var/log/backup-couchdb-feat.log | gzip > couchdb-feat-`date
+\%Y-\%m-\%d`.dump.gz
"
}
When I apply the manifest with this resource, I get:
Warning: Unrecognised escape sequence '\%' in file
/etc/puppet/environments/development/dev/modules/credex/manifests/backup/couchdb.pp
at line 20
Warning: Unrecognised escape sequence '\%' in file
/etc/puppet/environments/development/dev/modules/credex/manifests/backup/couchdb.pp
at line 20
Warning: Unrecognised escape sequence '\%' in file
/etc/puppet/environments/development/dev/modules/credex/manifests/backup/couchdb.pp

The backslashes are needed to escape the date format string, puppet should not
complain about them.
This bug has been present since 2.6 until 3.2
