Hi all,
(Not sure if this is a bug or a refactor, I would consider it a bug myself. Or
wishlist.)
When I make a syntax error in a selector, like so:
<pre>$target_service = $target ? {
$environment = "/etc/nagios3/${environment}/${fqdn}.cfg",
default = "/etc/nagios3/${environment}/${target}.cfg"
}</pre>
I get the error:
<pre>Syntax error at '='; expected '}'</pre>
Which made me overlook the obvious error (my = should be a =>). It would
probably make things easier if puppet would recognise this mistake, since I
imagine it a fairly common occurance, and adjust the error message accordingly.
