Issue #22587 has been updated by Vadim Nevorotin. Status changed from Needs More Information to Needs Decision
---------------------------------------- Feature #22587: Default value for all type's atrributes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22587#change-98968 * Author: Vadim Nevorotin * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Vadim Nevorotin * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- Each attribute for all built-in types must have default values. (from here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.stable/type.html) It's very important when you wrap some type with parametrized class/defined type. I that case you should pass parameters from container to wrapped type. So you must know default values for all type's attribute to add then as default values for class/defined type. E.g. you has standard package->config->service parametrized class. You want to add enable and ensure attributes of service to main class: class someclass ( $ensure = ????, $enabled = ????, ... ) { service {'someservice': ensure => $ensure, enabled => $enabled, ... Now you can't simply use default values of attributes from service to class, because there is no default values. So behavior of whole class differs from behavior of a service. And so there is a lot of problems in large installations.
