Re: set_variable_values_ini() with 3.18.2

I had lost track of the fact you still needed me to provide a test case.

Here it is.  It is extracted from a real part of our policy, setting a 
key=value in RH8 "/etc/dnf/automatic.conf" (I've slightly tweaked it to 
make it standalone and using a safe target file).

Run it at least twice (or as often as you like).  You'll see that although 
the target file successfully converges, CFE persists in (falsely) reporting 
errors.

Please could you take it forward from this?

  vars:

      "fname" string => "/tmp/automatic.conf";

      "tab[commands][apply_updates]" string => "no";

  files:
    any::
      "$(fname)"
        edit_line => set_variable_values_ini("$(this.bundle).tab", 
"commands");

}

Thanks.

Hi David 


I didn't see a ticket in this thread to check status on, probably 
no work has been done. 

PRs are great if you know how to fix, but at least having a standalone 
policy file that reproduces the issue is necessary. 

If you can make sure there is a ticket that at least contains a 
reproducer then there is better chance of something happening.
