Hi!
I'm having trouble using type Stdlib::Windowspath, from module
puppetlabs/stdlib, as a parameter type in a manifest. Is this "custom type"
really available? In
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/blob/master/types/windowspath.pp
it is defined using the "type" word, which, according to the latest doc (
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/lang_reserved.html#reserved-words),
is "reserved for future use".
*1. Puppet version (Windows 7):*
C:\>puppet --version
4.2.1
*2. puppetlabs/stdlib version*
C:\>puppet module list --modulepath=c:\git\winpuppet\test\modules
c:/git/winpuppet/test/modules
+-- mymodule (???)
+-- puppetlabs-stdlib (v4.14.0)
*3. Manifest (%MODULEPATH%\mymodule\manifests\mymanifest.pp):*
class mymodule::mymanifest (
String $string_param = 'a string',
Stdlib::Windowspath $windowspath_param = 'C:\a\valid\path') {
notice($string_param)
notice($windowspath_param)
}
*4. Execution/error message:*
C:\>puppet apply --modulepath=c:\git\winpuppet\test\modules -e "include
mymodule::mymanifest"
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Expected
parameter 'windowspath_param' of 'Class[Mymodule::Mymanifest]' to have type
Stdlib::Windowspath, got String at line 1:1 on node xxx.yyy.zzz
If, instead, I use a nonexistent type in the manifest, such as
"My_nonexistent_type", I got the same error message:
C:\>puppet apply --modulepath=c:\git\winpuppet\test\modules -e "include
mymodule::mymanifest"
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Expected
parameter 'windowspath_param' of 'Class[Mymodule::Mymanifest]' to have type
My_nonexistent_type, got String at line 1:1 on node xxx.yyy.zzz
