test:

This seems to be because of the :validate => false on the association in host_common to lookup_value. The validation's necessary to cast the value correctly - and also to fix issues such as #11782.

Why did you delete Release (1.9.3)? this is a very annoying bug and the PR has lots of conflicts with 1.9 branch so it would be great to see this backported properly in 1.9. Thanks :)

The blocking problem is that each time you save the host (e.g change anything on the host and click save) the smart parameters are malformed

I mistakenly thought it was a new, 1.9 regression, but it wasn't.

Yeah, I will investigate this but at the moment I don't have the time to make sure it works properly. The implementation of overrides between 1.10 and 1.9 is different in a few places, so I'm not sure if the fix will introduce further bugs in 1.9 - it's going to need some testing. For now I'm placing it on 1.10.

+1 really annoying bug, would be nice if the fix could be release in 1.9.

No promises, but I'll move it to make sure it appears on the right TODO list. Hopefully the backport's possible.

Updated by Julien Pivotto over 9 years ago
The problem is the same for hostgroups. You can not save hostgroup without breaking the smart variables.

Btw, once your parameters are 'corrupted' you'll not be able to edit your host or even access the YML dump.
See the attached file for more details about the stacktrace.

Will this make it to 1.9.3?

Yep, seems to be working fine! I hope to get .3 out early next week as we've got pretty much everything I hoped for.

I've just upgrade my 1.9.2 install to 1.9.3. But it seems that the issue isn't fixed in 1.9.3. I'm still having the issue. Could somebody else test and verify?
Updated by Anthony Lapenna over 9 years ago
We're still having this issue but with array type parameters only.
Updated by Brad Cowie over 9 years ago
It seems like 1.9.3 fixed it for me when using arrays on the host/group override page.
I did initially have trouble updating overrides that had previously been escaped and stored in the db. Try fixing your overrides manually in the puppet classes page and then when the correct unescaped version of the override is stored in the db try again from the host/group override page.

I still have the issue in 1.10 for a host belonging to a nested group.
Group have original multi line yaml->NestedGroup inherits->Host inherits->broken yaml
