Puppet users - Feb 2012 - String matching and case-insensitivity

When I run a puppet apply against this:

notice("operatingsystem: $operatingsystem")
case $operatingsystem {
  redhat: { notice("Matched redhat in switch") }
  default: { notice("Did not match redhat in switch") }
}

if ($operatingsystem == "redhat") {
    notice("Matched redhat in if")
} else {
    notice("Did not match redhat in if")
}

It works as expected:

otice: Scope(Class[main]): operatingsystem: RedHat
notice: Scope(Class[main]): Matched redhat in switch
notice: Scope(Class[main]): Matched redhat in if


But when I have similar code inside my regular manifests, compiled via
puppet master... the code seems to be case sensitive and am forced to
write this to make it work:

if ( $operatingsystem in
["RedHat","OEL","redhat","oel",] ) {
...
}


My client is 2.7.6 and the master is 2.7.7

Is this know issue?

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed,

Hi,

interesting discovery. Of course, you could probably have an easier
workaround using regular expressions.

Still, it looks like this should be reported as a possible bug.

Cheers,
Felix
