Title: Message Title

Dan Bode created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5537 nonproductive statement errors inconsistent between class and global scopes Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.3.0 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2015/11/20 3:47 PM Environment: with Puppet 4.3.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Dan Bode I am seeing inconsistencies in how empty conditional blocks are treated between class vs. global scopes. the code: class foo ( $var = true ) {   if $var { # do some stuff... }   } include foo results in the following error: Error: Could not parse for environment production: This 'if' statement has no effect. A Host Class Definition can not end with a value-producing _expression_ without other effect at /private/tmp/foo.pp:5:3 on node danslaptop-2.local However, if I remove the class definition: $var = true if $var { # do some stuff... } It compiles without error. My expectation is that neither should result in an error based on what I read from PUP-4047 .
