Describe the Bug

Passing undef as the second argument to fqdn_rand_string results in a compilation error. This worked (unintentionally or not) in previous versions of stdlib.

Expected Behavior

Function returns a random string (as it did in 8.x)

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install stdlib 9.0.0
[root@40776c2909e5 /]# puppet module install puppetlabs-stdlib -v 9.0.0
Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules ...

/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules
└── puppetlabs-stdlib (v9.0.0)
  1. Call fqnd_rand_string with undef as the second argument
[root@40776c2909e5 /]# puppet apply -e 'notify { fqdn_rand_string(10, undef, "custom seed"): }'
Warning: This function is deprecated, please use stdlib::fqdn_rand_string instead. at ["unknown", 1]:["unknown", 0]
   (location: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/stdlib/lib/puppet/functions/deprecation.rb:35:in `deprecation')
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'stdlib::fqdn_rand_string' parameter 'charset' expects a String value, got Undef (line: 1, column: 10) on node 40776c2909e5

Environment

  • Version: 9.0.0
  • Platform: Rocky Linux 8 (shown here for example, others verified via rspec)

Additional Context

This code worked as recently as stdlib 8.6.0.
