Creating a user specifying the UID (uses useradd provider automatically):
user { 'test': ... uid => 123,} |
Desired Behavior:
User is created with uid 123.
Actual Behavior:
Error: Could not create user test1: Execution of '[redacted]' returned 1: Error: Could not execute posix command: no implicit conversion of Integer into String
