Hey
I'm setting up a module to handle our smtp config.
My simple if statement is:
if ($facts['os']['release']['major'] > 5 ) {
results in a bright red error stating:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation
Error: Comparison of: String > Integer, is not possible. Caused by '*A
String is not comparable to a non String'*. at /etc/puppetlabs/code/
environments/dkoleary/modules/mpismtp/manifests/init.pp:50:40 on node
nap1d030.multiplan.com
Facts are obviously interpreted as strings. Several posts referenced that
puppet will auto-translate strings to integers if appropriate. So,
figuring there was something special about the facts hash, I created a
variable for it:
$mpismpt_orm = $facts['os']['release']['major']
if ($mpismpt_orm > 5) {
with the same result. It wasn't until I updated the var declaration as
"$mpismpt_orm = 0 + $facts['os']['release']['major']" that this works - a
hint in a post from 2010. There has to be a better way to have facts be
interpreted as numbers, doesn't there?
It works so, if all else fails, I'm good. It just seems that something
should have changed in this regards in the last 7 years.
Thanks for any information.
