Bug Fix
-
The `call()` function was only able to call functions in puppet core. This is now fixed so that any function in the environment is visible and can be called.

Description
Using custom functions, I'm unable to call them using the call() function.
Test case:
modules/call_me/functions/pfunction.pp
function call_me::pfunction( |
Optional[String] $args = undef |
) {
|
"returned from pfunction" |
}
|
test.pp;
$message = call_me::pfunction() |
notify {'direct function call': message => $message, } |
|
|
|
|
$deferred = Deferred('call_me::pfunction') |
$message3 = $deferred.call() |
notify {'deferred, function name hardcoded': message => $message3, } |
|
|
|
|
$function_name = 'call_me::pfunction' |
$deferred2 = Deferred($function_name) |
$message4 = $deferred2.call() |
notify {'deferred, function name in variable': message => $message4, } |
output:
