Description

When you create a generic method, it will be declared as not valid for cfengine agent if it contains a coupleof curly braces with only whitespaces or nothing in between.

This syntax is used to declared empty lists in CFEngine and can also appear in strings (obviously).

The method will be displayed as non compatible with classic agent in the technique editor, will be applied correclty by a directly, But reporting will be wrong, you will get an n/a report stating that the method is not valid for classic agent, breaking reporting in Rudder (two reports made, one ok, and one n/a
