[Puppet Users] Are tildes actually valid in templates or is this a bug?

Hi all,

First off, we''re running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0.

Now, I''m using tildes in a template to prevent newlines from appearing
but
ruby/puppet is choking on them.

*/tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb*
Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS.
<% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~%>
Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS.
<% end ~%>
*/tmp/puppet$ erb -x -T ''-'' test.erb | ruby -c*
-:2: syntax error, unexpected ''~'', expecting kTHEN or
'':'' or ''\n'' or '';''
;  if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~; _erbout.concat "\n"
                                   ^
-:4: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end
;  end ~; _erbout.concat "\n"
      ^
*/tmp/puppet**$ perl -pi -e ''s/~//'' test.erb*
*/tmp/puppet$ erb -x -T ''-'' test.erb | ruby -c*
Syntax OK
*/tmp/puppet$ *

I thought it might just be erb/ruby that was choking so I did a full test
with puppet. Tildes still do not work but, without them, blank lines are
still generated.

*/tmp/puppet$ cat test.pp*
class test {
    file { "/tmp/puppet/test.out":
        ensure => ''present'',
        content => template(''test.erb''),
    }
}
include test**
*/tmp/puppet$ puppet apply --templatedir=. test.pp*
/tmp/puppet/test.erb:4:in `result'': compile error (SyntaxError)
/tmp/puppet/test.erb:2: syntax error, unexpected ''~'',
expecting kTHEN or
'':'' or ''\n'' or '';''
... operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~; _erbout.concat "\nLine 2:
Ya...
                      ^
/tmp/puppet/test.erb:4: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end
;  end ~; _erbout.concat "\n"
      ^
    from
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/templatewrapper.rb:106:in
`result''
         [STRIPPED OUT STACK TRACE FOR READABILITY]
*/tmp/puppet$ perl -pi -e ''s/~//'' test.erb*
*/tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb*
Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS.
<% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" %>
Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS.
<% end %>
*/tmp/puppet$ puppet apply --templatedir=. test.pp*
notice: /Stage[main]/Test/File[/tmp/puppet/test.out]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.04 seconds
*/tmp/puppet$ cat test.out*
Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS.

Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS.

*/tmp/puppet$
*
Current examples I find all use tildes. Am I doing something wrong or could
there be a bug here?

Thanks,
Justin

It''s dash not tilde -%> to suppress newlines. Do you have a link to
the faulty examples on puppetlabs site?

Thanks,

/sigh. I just need to increase my font size. Thank you for pointing out a
dumb mistake.
