Description

OS: Centos 6.3
Puppet version: 2.6.17 from Epel repo
Puppet modules: Example42 modules (https://github.com/example42)
Foreman version: 1.1 RC3 from rpm upgraded from 1.0.1 while keeping existing Mysql DB.

Steps to reproduce:
Import classes from puppet then go to any imported class and go to smart class parameter. All parameters will appear with the override option checked by default.

Note: Classes were imported using the old version first. I've tried importing all classes several times and is having the same issue.

Amos, do you mind taking a look?

OK, digging a bit more into example42 module structure i saw the following

e.g.

class xyz($audit_only = params_lookup( 'audit_only' , 'global' ))

in this case, the value of the parameter depends on an external function (also common when using hiera).

this would lead foreman puppet parser to tell foreman that the audit_only parameter value is empty, in which, in this case, it would assuming its mandatory and required (as if a parameter with no value would fail a puppet catalog compile).

we can probably do two things

  1. remove the code that defines override/required automatically, make it always a user selection
  2. let our proxy code detect its a function, and assume a default value is not required.

What do you think?

its actually trivial to fix the proxy to detect its a function, e.g. I can easily say detect:

audit_only value is params_lookup("audit_only", "global")

should we just do the same as we do with variable references, and put ${params_lookup...} ? without override / require?

The smart proxy should not report a nil/null value when a parameter is a function.

I suggest we do something similar to how variables are handled, e.g. ${function(param1,param2..paramn)}

possible fix at - https://github.com/theforeman/smart-proxy/pull/51

note, if you already had your class imported, at the moment there is no way to mass un-override them all.

if its a test setup, its best to remove the env (from foreman) and re-import it.
