Hide
Fixed recognition of short form Arrays and Hashes

This release fixes a regression in the string formatting rules that caused a short form for an Array or Hash to not be recognized. For example `String([1,[2,3],4], '%#a")` would not format with indentation, but would format the long form `String([1,[2,3],4], {Array => { format => '%#a"}})`. Now the short form works for Array and Hash as intended.

and

eg.

$str = String([10], "%(a") # produces '("10")'

# Formatting with indentation

String([1, [2, 3], 4], "%#a")

# produces:

# [1,

#  [2, 3],

#  4]

It appears these examples haven't worked since puppet 4.8 (they work in 4.7.1).

The long form still works.
eg

String([1, [2, 3], 4], Array => { format => "%#a"})
