Error: confine kernel: %w[Linux SunOS FreeBSD DragonFly Darwin]

[MyLive]

Fix some faults in ssh_server_version.rb & ssh_client_version.rb

• confine kernel: %w[Linux SunOS FreeBSD DragonFly Darwin]

• confine :kernel => %w[Linux SunOS FreeBSD DragonFly Darwin]

• confine kernel: %w[Linux SunOS FreeBSD DragonFly DragonFly Darwin]
• confine ssh_server_version_full: %r{\d+}

• confine :kernel => %w[Linux SunOS FreeBSD DragonFly DragonFly Darwin]
• confine :ssh_server_version_full => %r{\d+}

with older python & puppet versions you get the error:

After the change it works fine :-)

Which version of ruby and puppet are you using?

[MyLive]

Agent: 5.5.8-1bionic
Server: 5.3.6-1bionic

[Steffen Zieger]

@MyLive Which ruby version?

[MyLive]

facter rubysitedir rubyversion
rubysitedir => /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.4.0
rubyversion => 2.4.4

[Steffen Zieger]

@MyLive Those files are using the new hash syntax introduced with ruby 1.9.
This should'nt be an issue on puppet 4 and newer as those are relying on ruby 2.1 (or maybe newer).

Are you sure you're seeing the issue on ruby 2.4.4 with puppet 5?

[Steffen Zieger]

Closing this, as there is no feedback and I don't think any change is required.
