Get rid of the warning about puppet-vmwaretools HOT 5 CLOSED

@rgarrigue See #55

from puppet-vmwaretools.

@alexjfisher Ok. Should I enforce STRICT_VARIABLES=no ? If I should, how do I do that, site.pp, puppet.conf ?

Thanks,

It'd be strict_variables = false in puppet.conf on your master
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/configuration.html#strictvariables

STRICT_VARIABLES=no is how you'd set the option when using rspec-puppet and puppetlabs_spec_helper. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs_spec_helper#initializing-puppet-for-testing

I don't think this will help you though. The option already defaults to false but I'm guessing in recent versions, puppet generates warnings. If it was set to true I don't think the catalog would compile at all.

To fix the warnings, you'd have to fix the params.pp manifest in this module. The fixes aren't hard, but there are quite a lot of them needed. I might be able to find the time at some point, just probably not this week at least.

So I tried the strict_variable=no, but as you guessed that's not changing
anything. Settings it to yes issue an error instead of a warning and stop
compilation, no is the default issue warning type.

So... well, that only cosmetic, nevermind this. Thanks for the answer
anyway !
