Jira (PUP-2372) Integers passed to functions as fixnums, not strings under future parser

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: Integers passed to functions as fixnums, not strings under future parser Well, it is not specified for Puppet 3x - if you give a direct numeric value it will be a String, if you use the result of arithmetic it will be numeric, and hence, there is no translation for numeric to string since functions must already deal with both forms. If they don't I would say it is a problem with that particular function. i.e. try test(1, 2, 1+1) I think it is a really bad idea to automatically transform numeric to String because of issues with radix and the confusion and bugs this creates. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2372 Integers passed to functions as fixnums, not strings under future parser Given a simple function that accepts integers, the data type seems to be a Fixnum when Puppet is using the future parser but is a string when using the default parser: {noformat} Puppet::Parser::Functions.newfunction(:test, :type => :rvalue) do |*arguments|   arguments.inspect end {noformat} {noformat} # puppet apply --modulepath /usr/share/for...
