Bug #22276: puppet displays a bogus warning about escape characters
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22276#change-97622

* Author: Thomas Vander Stichele
* Status: Rejected
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* Affected Puppet version: 3.2.2
* Keywords: 
* Branch: 
----------------------------------------
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
 at line 20


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
