yum::config fails with comma separated values

[matonb]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 4.8.0
• Ruby: ruby 2.1.9p490 (2016-03-30 revision 54437) [x86_64-linux]
• Distribution: OEL Linux 7.3
• Module version: 0.9.15

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Give a yum::config resources a comma separated value e.g.

yum::config{'exclude':
  ensure => 'kernel, kernel-uek',
}

What are you seeing

Error: /Stage[main]/Profile_base::Linux::Yum/Yum::Config[exclude]/Augeas[yum.conf_main_exclude]: Could not evaluate: Saving failed, see debug

What behaviour did you expect instead

exclude=kernel, kernel-uek

in /etc/yum.conf

Output log

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Maybe accept an array of values

yum::config{'exclude':
  ensure => [ 'kernel', 'kernel-uek' ],
}

So that augeas vaues can be correctly defined ?

Hi @matonb. thanks for the bugreport. Are you able to provide a patch for this?

[matonb]

Hi @bastelfreak

Sure.
After poking around with augtool it turns out to be much simpler than anticipated.
See PR #29
