Hi,
I just ran into an issue with the future parser. I had following
statement in my manifests :
cron {'zorgregieRapportering':
command => "/usr/projects/admintools/cronWrap.bash -s
/home/weblogic/JOB/rapporten/zorgregieRapportering.bash",
ensure => present,
user => weblogic,
minute => '00',
hour => 1,
weekday => [1-5],
}
This would work fine with the old parser but no longer works with the
future parser. It gives an error that "-4 is not a valid weekday" .
I was just wondering why it did work in the old parser. Did the old
parser expand this as a range or just assume this to be a string ?
Thanks in advance,
Petet.
PS: I fixed it by putting weekday => '1-5'
The old parser most likely interpreted that as a string, while the new
one correctly recognized it as an arithmetic expression.
Henrik, you might want to look into that ;-)
The current parser treats 1-5 as a bare-word (i.e. a NAME) which results
in a String when evaluated. That is deliberately changed in the future
parser, NAME can not start with a digit, and can not contain a
hyphen/minus. If you in the current parser write 1 - 5 (with spaces),
you get the same result as in the future parser (because NAME cannot
contain a space).
The source should be changed to '1-5' (as you did) and this will work in
both versions. In the future the correct evaluation of [1-5], is [-4]
(an array with a negative integer of value 4).
In general, it is important to use the correct notation to get string
values, if something looks like a number, then it will be used as a
number. If you want a string quote the value.
