Summary
Some global variable names were re-used between the firewall and firewallchain providers. This causes intermittent catalog application failures.
The proposed fix is to prefix all
firewall
global variables withfw_
and allfirewallchain
global variables withfwc_
.Additional Context
For example, if the
firewallchain
provider code is loaded after thefirewall
provider code, the$list_command
global variable value loses theiptables
andipt6ables
keys and values. E.g.puppetlabs-firewall/lib/puppet/provider/firewall/firewall.rb
Lines 11 to 16 in 810e7fa
becomes
puppetlabs-firewall/lib/puppet/provider/firewallchain/firewallchain.rb
Lines 10 to 13 in 810e7fa
Then when the
firewall
provider tries to process a rule that has theiptables
protocol, the provider is unable to lookup the current rules because$list_command['iptables']
is no longer defined.Related Issues (if any)
