I would be really cool if warnings could be disabled (And re enabled) from code, like like pragmas in C++. That would let me keep the undefined variables warning where it's needed, but ignore for other areas. (like third party modules i may not care about)
In my case, i am using hiera lookup paths that use variables that aren't defined until later. (because they come out of hiera itself) The lookup call that gets them warns that they are undefined, until later when i pull them in. Perhaps that could be fixed on the lookup side, alternatively. -Ben On Friday, May 6, 2016 at 6:55:22 PM UTC-7, Henrik Lindberg wrote: > > On 06/05/16 21:00, Vince Skahan wrote: > > > > Is there a way to shut up the undefined variable warnings in PE2016.1 ? > > > This is https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1780 > Which was released in Puppet 4.4.0, and is thus in all PE2016.1 versions. > > The input to docs (in the ticket) says: > > "All references to non existing variables will now generate a warning. > Earlier puppet only warned about non existing qualified variables with > more than one namespace segment. > > It is possible to disable these warnings by adding 'undefined_variables' > to the setting 'disabled_warnings'. > > Note that in most cases there is no file/line information available, and > this was one reason why only some cases were reported earlier.
