Seva, thanks for the reply. According to the CFEngine Reference, section 2.7.2
"List variable substitution and expansion", that should not be necessary as the
variable is global in scope (... @(g.ntpservers) from "bundle common g").
Lists can be passed around in their entirety in any context where a list is
expected
During list expansion (jblaine: which I am not doing here), only local lists
can be expanded, thus global list references have to be mapped into a local
context if you want to use them for iteration (jblaine: which I am not doing
here).
I tried it anyway. That didn't buy me anything (got worse actually):
/usr/local/sbin/cf-agent -D site_x -IK
!! List parameter "ntpservers" not found while constructing scope
"system_ntpclient_configure" - use @(scope.variable) in calling reference
!! List parameter "servers" not found while constructing scope
"ntpclient_config_edit" - use @(scope.variable) in calling reference
I reverted.
I did figure it out though. For some reason, which I would love to have
explained by someone who knows why, I had to explicitly scope all of the
variables involved all the way to the final actual expansion in the edit_line
bundle.
