Issue #22121 has been updated by Yoann Le Touche. Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating Assignee set to Yoann Le Touche Keywords set to template, test, variable
---------------------------------------- Bug #22121: Documentation about testing for existence of variable in template is subtly wrong https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22121#change-98300 * Author: Thomas Vander Stichele * Status: Investigating * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yoann Le Touche * Category: documentation * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: template, test, variable * Branch: ---------------------------------------- http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html If the variable is defined but false, if @variable is false just the same. So using @ cannot be used purely to test definedness. In my template, I worked around it like this: <% if @require_valid_user == false -%> require_valid_user = false <% elsif @require_valid_user == true -%> require_valid_user = true <% else -%> ; require_valid_user = false <% end -%> I suggest updating the docs at least, or providing a real way to test for definedness-but-nothing-else. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
