Title: Message Title

Geoff Williams created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5026 error message "illegal comma separated argument list" does not give a line number Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.2.1 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2015/08/12 12:39 AM Environment: macosx Priority: Normal Reporter: Geoff Williams Overview If code accidentally includes bad list syntax in the body of their class code, they will receive an error message that does not include a line number. This is somewhat confusing. I had this error and spent a good few minutes looking at the parameters to my class before I realised the error was in the body of my code. Expected behaviour The compile error should give a line number so that user's can find the error easily Actual behaviour User's receive the message illegal comma separated argument list which contains a filename but no line number. Specifically, the testcase below gives the message: Error: Could not parse for environment production: illegal comma separated argument list in /Users/geoff/whoops.pp Testcase class whoops($a,$b,$c) { $d = "oh noes", "b" } Suggested fix The line number should be included in the error message Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.5#64020-sha1:78acd6c) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
