Title: Message Title

Daniel Parks created an issue   PuppetDB / PDB-3903 PQL ~ operator matches empty strings incorrectly Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/04/10 11:12 PM Environment: PE 2018.1.0-rc14 Priority: Normal Reporter: Daniel Parks It looks like the ~ operator treats an empty string as if it were a pair of double quotes (""). Both of the following return one record: inventory { certname = 'mycert' and facts.a.b = '' } inventory { certname = 'mycert' and facts.a.b ~ '^""$' } The following returns no records: inventory { certname = 'mycert' and facts.a.b ~ '...' } Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
