Re: generate() should allow calls with variable number of arguments
The generate() function already takes a variable number of arguments. Don't understand what you are proposing.
If you mean you want to expand a number of arguments in an array as if they are extra arguments you can do so in 3.x with future parser and in 4.x using the so called "splat" operator.
Example using puppet function as illustration
# capture a variable number of arguments into an array
function example(*$args) {
notice $args
}
$arr = [4,5,6]
example(1,2,3,*$arr)
puppet apply pup6948.pp
Notice: Scope(Class[main]): [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Title: Message Title Matthias Hörmann created an issue Puppet / PUP-6948 generate() should allow calls with variable number of arguments Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: PUP 4.8.1 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2016/11/30 12:53 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Matthias Hörmann It would often be useful to allow generate() calls with a variable number of arguments, e.g. when generate is used to generate file content containing multiple entries (e.g. one per user or one per server) with the identifiers for the exact content specified on the commandline. One option to achieve this would be to allow generate to take an array parameter value which would be treated as if length(array) individual parameters had been passed in its place. Another option would be to create a more general apply construct in the language (not sure if even a built-in function could achieve that since function names are probably not first class entities in the puppet language) that allows calling any function by name and an array of parameters.
