      A regression made it impossible to give an attribute as {{undef}} when there is no default value expression for a resource parameter and using {{create_resources}} to create the resource. There was no regression when doing the same from a manifest directly.

      A regression made it impossible to give an attribute as {{undef}} when there is no default value expression for a resource parameter and using {{create_resources}} to create the resource. There was no regression when doing the same from a manifest directly.

    Description

      The following code works when evaluated from a manifest:

      puppet apply -e 'define foo($foo) {} foo { "FOO": foo => undef }'

      But not when done using create_resources.

      The rule puppet should use is: if undef is given then use the default value if one exists, otherwise set an explicit undef. Now the create_resources function simply filters out all undef values. (If simply kept, there are other problems since relationships cannot handle undef entries.
