Hi All,
I'm getting the following error:

I'm seeing this error only when I try to realize a virtual defined resource:
User::Config <| title == "joedoe" |>
The other weird thing is I see this error only on AIX. On Linux it does exactly what I expect it to do. I'm using puppet 3.6.2
How can I trace this error a bit better? I would like to see which actual string it tries to compare against which array, just to get a better idea of the issue. So, in general, how can I do that? I've tried running the agent with --debug and --trace, but that didn't get me much closer.
Thanks in advance

Stephan,
Not sure if this is related or not, but the AIX user provider has some quirks which we'd like to resolve for puppet 4.0. You might take a look at:
And see if that sheds any light.
Best,

Can you perhaps try another (older) Ruby version on AIX?

It's still weird, but this might narrow down the possible causes.

IIRC I fixed this by consequently making all variables involved
arrays, even if they just had one member.

So I have to check every file in every module for variables and transform them to an array? :(
