But this seems not to be a big surprise, due to template command is extrapolated at the puppet master but not at the agent side. Recall: Default for parameter $foobar = 0 -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test => /tmp/test: foobar foobar == '0' -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: => /tmp/test: foobar foobar == '0' -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: 0 => /tmp/test: foobar foobar == 0 -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: '0' => /tmp/test: foobar foobar == '0' -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: true => /tmp/test: foobar foobar == true -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: false => /tmp/test: <empty> -------------------------------------------- node.yaml: — classes: test test::foobar: 1 => /tmp/test: foobar -------------------------------------------- Hope this is something useful to you Andreas puppet -V 3.6.2 cat /etc/debian_version 7.3 dpkg -l | grep puppet ii facter 2.0.2-1puppetlabs1 amd64 Ruby module for collecting simple facts about a host operating system ii hiera 1.3.4-1puppetlabs1 all A simple pluggable Hierarchical Database. ii puppet 3.6.2-1puppetlabs1 all Centralized configuration management - agent startup and compatibility scripts ii puppet-common 3.6.2-1puppetlabs1 all Centralized configuration management ii puppetlabs-release 1.0-7 all "Package to install Puppet Labs gpg key and apt repo" ii ruby-rgen 0.6.5-1puppetlabs1 all A framework supporting Model Driven Software Development (MDSD) – ________________________________________________________________________ Andreas Papst | Vienna University Computer Center | E-Mail: andreas.pa...@univie.ac.at Universitaetsstrasse 7 | Phone: +43 1 4277 / 140 36 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe | Fax.: +43 1 4277 / 8 140 36 Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-2735 unexpected different behaviour of 0 (integer vs. string) as a value in Hiera and as a default value for class parameters I'm not sure, if this should be considered as an error. At least it should be stressed in the documentation: 0 (a digit) used as default value of a class parameter is converted into a string or character when the variable is interpreted in a template by Ruby. On the other hand, 0 entered as a value in an hiera-yaml file is interpreted as an integer va...
