Problem using exported resources with tag => $variable

[Cosmin-Viorel Ilie]

Does anyone know if using variable as tag values is permitted in puppet 2.7.19

Here is my example :

 @@custom_define { 'export':

          tag             => $variable,

     }

Custom_define <<| tag == $variable |>>

If i set the tag to a string (e.g   tag => 'tag1',)  it works without problems, however if i use a variable the exported resource is not applied.

Thanks,

Cosmin

This could be a scope issue. You may want to try $::variable or some other prefix depending on where this variable actually is defined.

 

See: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.html

Yes, this should definitely work.  If it doesn't please consider filing a bug at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet with an example that reproduces the problem.

There may already be a bug filed on this issue.
