Ticket #83 (new defect)

Opened 3 years ago

Last modified 7 months ago

Puppet should be lexically scoped, not dynamically scoped

Reported by: luke Assigned to: luke
Priority: low Milestone:
Component: language Version: 0.17.0
Severity: critical Keywords: None
Cc: None Triage Stage: Needs design decision
Attached Patches: None Complexity: Unknown

Description

In the following code: 

$s = "outer"

define print(msg) {
  exec { echo:
    command => "/bin/echo printing $s:",
    logoutput => true
  }
}

define otherprint {
  $s = "otherprint"
  print { msg => "otherprint" }
}

otherprint {}

'print' should find the $s bound in the outer scope, not the otherprint scope.
