Jira (PUP-3083) Problem with parsing regular expressions.

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: Problem with parsing regular expressions. ok, then it behaves as expected. IIRC if you try a regular match with numeric - i.e.: 1 =~ /\d/ this will produce an error that the LHS must be a string. For case however, it would be very counter productive to raise an error since other cases may apply, i.e.: case $x { /\d+/: { } 1,2,3: { } } If the match were to error, you could not ever use a regexp to match strings (unless you placed it last), while other rules match other data types. Instead, case with regexp just does not match something that is not a string. I am not sure we can (want/should) change that. Any suggestions? Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-3083 Problem with parsing regular expressions. It seems the way regular expressions are now parsed has been changed and I presume it wasn't on purpose. Here's how it used to work before and what I consider as expected: {code:title=On 3.4.3} [ec2-user@instance-CN5L5XeZKd ~]$ cat test.pp $test = 1 case $test {   /^\d+$/: {     fail('MATCH')   }   default: {     fail("Not MATCH")   } } ...
