Allows variables starting with underscores #34

One more question: Does Puppet allow variables such as $_woo__?

petems commented 8 years ago

@50Wliu Yep, that's valid

$_woo__='hello'
notice($_woo__)

Notice: Scope(Class[main]): hello

Can variables not start with uppercase letters?

petems commented 8 years ago

In Puppet 4, the official regex as given by the parser: Error: Illegal variable name, The given name 'Woo' does not conform to the naming rule /^((::)?[a-z]\w*)*((::)?[a-z_]\w*)$/ at /Users/petersouter/echo.pp:1:1

In older puppet its possible but linters will complain,

Wow, that's pretty awesome how it gives you the regex right in the error message. Just waiting on Travis now... :watch: :sleeping:
