Could not set smart-variable

Support
1

Hello

I have this in my manifest file:

$udp_send_channel = [
{ mcast_join => '239.2.11.71', port => 8649, ttl => 1 }
],
$udp_recv_channel = [
{ mcast_join => '239.2.11.71', port => 8649, bind => '239.2.11.71' }
],
$tcp_accept_channel = [ { port => 8649 } ],

When I override it value like this:
[{"port"=>8649, "bind"=>"239.2.11.71", "mcast_join"=>"239.2.11.71"}]

The foreman will report error message: (<unknown>): did not find
expected ',' or '}' while parsing a flow mapping at line 1 column 2

But when I set value is [ { port => 8649 } ]
Then the foreman will change the value to: [{"port=>8649"=>nil}]

How to override this kind of array value?

Best Regards

Hello
I override the value of "udp_recv_channel" to this:

  • {port: 8649, mcast_join: "239.2.11.71", bind: "239.2.11.71"}

The data type can be array or yaml.
Then submit successfully. But I look into the value changed to :

[{"port"=>8649, "bind"=>"239.2.11.71", "mcast_join"=>"239.2.11.71"}]

If I submit again it will show the array message : (<unknown>): did not
find expected ',' or '}' while parsing a flow mapping at line 1 column 2
If I want to change the value I must change it to yaml first.
Is this a bug or not.

Hello
When I override the smart variables's value to this:
type: yaml
value: - {port=>8649, mcast_join=>239.2.11.71, bind=>239.2.11.71}

Then I can submit it, but after submit the value type change to array. And
the value change back to : [{"port"=>8649, "bind"=>"239.2.11.71",
"mcast_join"=>"239.2.11.71"}]
Why it change back the value?
My foreman version is 1.3.0-1.

You might be seeing a combination of two bugs.

Bug #2726: Smart Class Parameter - over-ride match value unable to set yaml - Foreman which was fixed in Foreman
1.4.1 and prevented the smart variable being saved due to bad validation.

Bug #4639: Syntax of arrays in parameters changed when edit is changed. - Foreman which isn't fixed, where the
syntax is being shown with "=>" which aren't valid JSON or YAML (it's
Ruby syntax). Sounds like your original reported issue.
