upper method in tt files gives an empty string

[StephaneGerardVUB]

Hi,
I'm facing this issue when I try to define a vnet with ncm-opennebula on a SL6.6 machine. Here is a code that isolates the problem :

#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib '/usr/lib/perl';
use CAF::TextRender;
my $module = 'vnet';
my %vnet = ('bridge' , 'br0', 'dns', '193.58.172.5', 'gateway', '192.168.10.200', 'name', 'Private', 'network_mask', '255.255.0.0', 'type', 'FIXED');
my $contents = \%vnet;
my $trd = CAF::TextRender->new($module, {'vnet' => $contents}, relpath => 'opennebula', log => $self);
print "$trd";

The ouput of this code is the following :

 = "br0"
 = "193.58.172.5"
 = "192.168.10.200"
 = "Private"
 = "255.255.0.0"
 = "FIXED"
QUATTOR = 1

I guess this is due to "upper" methode in vnet.tt :

[% FOR pair IN vnet.pairs -%]
[%    pair.key.upper %] = "[% pair.value %]"
[% END -%]
QUATTOR = 1

Could this be due to bug in perl-Template-Toolkit-2.22-5.el6.x86_64 ?
Cheers,
Stéphane

@StephaneGerardVUB yes, .upper doesn't work with older perl-Template-Toolkit. we should use pair.key FILTER upper for that (see also stdweird/configuration-modules-core@f837f95)

@jrha as soon as we will run the unittests on EL6 for the release, this would have popped up 😉

@alvarosimon can you look for this (and we need to run the tests under EL6 asap)

[alvarosimon]

@stdweird, @StephaneGerardVUB yes I will test this in a EL6 as soon as possible

[alvarosimon]

@stdweird opennebula AII is not affected by this, I will modify the current opennebula component PR to fix this asap

Updated opennebula component PR: quattor/configuration-modules-core#466 to fix this issue
