Deferred without result

[Andreas Dvorak]

Hello,

I am trying to use the deferred function according to the page http://puppet-on-the-edge.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-topic-is-deferred.html

My code does not show the time. Does anybody has a solution?

notify {"time_now":
  message => Deferred('new', [TimeStamp])
}

$d = Deferred('new', [TimeStamp])
notify {'time_now_2':
  message => "The time is: ${d}"
}

$dd = Deferred('new', [TimeStamp])
notify {"time_now_3":
  message => Deferred("sprintf", ["The time is: %s", $dd])
}

notify { 'time_now_4':
  message => Deferred('inline_epp', [@(END)])
  The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %>
  |- END
}

My result

Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]})

Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})'

Notice: The time is: Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]})

Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_2]/message: defined 'message' as 'The time is: Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})'

Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'sprintf', 'arguments' => ['The time is: %s', Deferred({'name' => 'new', 'arguments' => [Timestamp]})]})

Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_3]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'sprintf\', \'arguments\' => [\'The time is: %s\', Deferred({\'name\' => \'new\', \'arguments\' => [Timestamp]})]})'

Notice: Deferred({'name' => 'inline_epp', 'arguments' => ['The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %>']})

Notice: /Stage[main]/Vault::Consul_server::Install/Notify[time_now_4]/message: defined 'message' as 'Deferred({\'name\' => \'inline_epp\', \'arguments\' => [\'The time is: <%= TimeStamp() %>\']})'

Deferred functions are a new feature in puppet 6. Make sure you're using the latest version, which currently is 6.16.0.
