Does attempting the use of dynamically scoped variables still lead to warnings? I was under the impression that since 3.0 it just won't work. I don't think such a warning can be reliably generated, for the same reason that dynamic scoping did not work predictably (which is why it was finally removed). So I'm fine with the lack of a warning either way. ---------------------------------------- Bug #22800: dynamic variable lookup works in templates https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22800#change-100277 * Author: Robert Birnie * Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Damon Atkins * Category: templates * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.2.2 * Keywords: templates scope * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/2117 ---------------------------------------- Summary: >From within templates, dynamic lookup of variables seems to work. I can >declare a variable in the init.pp file. It shows up as undefined in the >configuration.pp file. But then it will work fine within the templates created >by configuration.pp. Steps to Reproduce: I've created a github repo with a simple module that shows off the issue. Basically its just creating a dynamic lookup variable in a template though, nothing special. https://github.com/rbirnie/puppet_scope_bug Expected Results: The variable should return undef which is what the manifests return. Actual Results: The variable returns the value that is assigned.
