(19864) num2bool match fix #139

No more coercing to String and regex matching. Instead, we now coerce to Integer at the beginning or raise an error if we cannot coerce to Integer. A consequence of this change is that the function will now accept blatantly non-numeric strings as input, and return false. This seems a bit goofy to me, but it's how String#to_i works. If we really don't like this, then I'm open to suggestions.
This is a bit more heavy-handed than I might like, but it does appear to do the right things: * accepts numeric input appropriately, truncating floats * matches string input against a regex, then coerces number-looking strings to int * makes a best effort to coerce anything else to a string, then subjects it to the same treatment * raises an error in the event of incorrect number of arguments or non-number-looking strings I've also included some additional unit tests.

Um, ok, now I'm even more confused. The Travis build succeeded for Puppet 3 and Puppet 2.7 on Ruby 1.8.7 (which is what I use), but failed on Ruby 1.9.3. Off the top of my head I have no idea what's going on there; any suggestions? |

number > 0 will return a boolean, so you don't need to use the ternary operator here.

that's straightforward enough; fixed.

@hakamadare I initially thought it was an issue with the regex, and that using |
* use Float() to process string arguments * get rid of doubly nested arrays * removing needless ternary operator * improving error message handling

Merged into master as f90c54e. This should be released in the next major release of stdlib. Thanks again for the contribution! -Adrien |
This is another attempt at #137.
