Simpler example, but I get "bar\n" in both files:
$ cat /tmp/scope1.pp
class myclass {
$myvar = [ "foo\n", "bar\n" ]
file { "/tmp/a1":
content => $myvar
}
$myclass::myvar += [ "blah" ]
file { "/tmp/a2":
content => $myclass::myvar,
}
}
class { myclass: }
$ puppet apply /tmp/scope1.pp
notice: /Stage[main]/Myclass/File[/tmp/a2]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff00'
notice: /Stage[main]/Myclass/File[/tmp/a1]/ensure: defined content as
'{md5}d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff00'
$ cat /tmp/a1
bar
$ cat /tmp/a2
bar
Maybe it's not emitting an error, but I can't get $myclass::myvar with a
different value. Not that I know so much about what's going on.
