Modules should be able to define empty lists

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

      Description

      When using the module protocol to define an empty list errors are emitted

        error: Parsing error : Malformed string (unexpected end of input)
   error: Module protocol could not parse variable list_from_module's data content { }

      However since it is valid to define an empty list in policy it should also be allowed from modules.

      There is also historical precedence for this.
