Error: no implicit conversion of Integer into String

[hpkunz]

I get a lot of these errors:

Error: /Stage[main]/Os_hardening::Sysctl/Sysctl[net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter]/ensure: change from 'absent' to 'present' failed: Could not set 'present' on ensure: no implicit conversion of Integer into String (file:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/ifi/modules/os_hardening/manifests/sysctl.pp, line: 78)
Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: no implicit conversion of
Integer into String (file:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/ifi/modules/os_hardening/manifests/sysctl.pp, line: 111)
Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: no implicit conversion of Integer into String (file:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/ifi/modules/os_hardening/manifests/sysctl.pp, line: 111)
Wrapped exception:no implicit conversion of Integer into String

even if I just use the module with default parameter values, i.e.

class { "os_hardening": }

in fact, it seems I get such an error for every instance of 'bool2num' in os_hardening/manifests/sysctl.pp, e.g. (corresponding to the error above)

line 111: sysctl { 'net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore': value =>
bool2num($arp_restricted) }

I am using

• puppetserver 6.3.0-1stretch (on debian stretch)
• herculesteam-augeasproviders_sysctl (v2.3.1)

Best,

@hpkunz Which version of stdlib do you use here?

And also please paste the output of puppet --version from the system where you get the error ...

sorry, I got no notification from github, so I didn't know that there was a question. I have the following puppet version installed:

• debian stretch machines: puppet --version => 6.4.2
• debian buster machines: puppet --version => 6.4.2

I use stdlib version v5.2.0

Best and thanks

@hpkunz It looks like Puppet in the latest version needs an explicit conversion to string here ... I'll try to fix this with #207 and publish a new release when this is successful.

Version 2.2.5 is out, please try it!

This fixed my errors. Many thanks!
