Hello Nick,

I was wondering why my last post remained unanswered and have now tested 
with cfengine 3.24.3. In doing so, I realized that I accidentally posted 
the wrong version of the script last time.

Sorry for the noise!

Here is the correct version with the results for versions 3.21.8 and 
3.24.3:


In our script we use this lines:

"dirs_found"     slist => findfiles("$(constants.conf_dir)/*/");
"dirs_expected"  slist => { maplist("$(constants.conf_dir)/$(this)/", 
@(file_list) ), "$(constants.conf_dir)host_config"};

------------:<-------------
body common control
{
       bundlesequence => { "test" };
}

bundle agent test {
  vars:

   "test_dir"  string => "/tmp/diff_test";

   "file_list" slist => { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "x", "z" };

   "dirs_found"     slist => findfiles("$(test_dir)/*/");
   "dirs2_found"     slist => findfiles("$(test_dir)/*");
   "dirs_expected"  slist => { maplist("$(test_dir)/$(this)/", 
@(file_list) ), "$(test_dir)/host_config"};
   "dirs_diff" slist => difference(dirs_found, dirs_expected);
   "dirs2_diff" slist => difference(dirs2_found, dirs_expected);

  reports:
   "version: $(sys.cf_version)";
   "found: $(dirs_found)";
   "found2: $(dirs2_found)";
   "expected: $(dirs_expected)";
   "diff: $(dirs_diff)";
   "diff2: $(dirs2_diff)";
}

If the new behavior is desired, I would be grateful for any information 
regarding the necessary changes to our scripts.
