Jira (PUP-2532) parameter lookup produces screwy result for default values

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: parameter lookup produces screwy result for default values As much as it hurts there is really no way of knowing what the resulting value of an attribute will be because the defaults are applied after all user logic has stopped being evaluated. Therefore, it is best to not even attempt to provide the default values, instead the value produced is always the value currently known to evaluation without defaults being applied. This means that lookup of the default should not be done. When it comes to virtual resources, since the attribute values here are also determined by evaluation order; a collection is scheduled for evaluation just like resources are and take place intermixed with resource evaluations, maybe it is not so crazy to allow reading their attributes. It provides a mechanism to determine how collection should be done. As with reading the attributes of a regular resource care must be taken wrt. evaluation order. What seems to be missing is the ability to check if a resource is virtual/exported and if it has been realized or not. Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2532 parameter lookup produces screwy result for default values When the future parser "lookup resource parameter" evaluates and there is no parameter value set by the evaluated manifest logic at that point, the evaluator then looks up the default value for that parameter. This unfortunately looks up the default value as seen from the perspective of the "lookup resource parameter" scope/context, and not the context...
