Title: Message Title

Jesse Reynolds created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6276 Vague error message when reserved word is used as a hash key Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.4.2 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Language Created: 2016/05/08 5:51 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jesse Reynolds The following code produces a syntax error, presumably because 'type' is a reserved word: $my_hash = { type => 'a', } running `puppet parser validate test.pp` yields: Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '=>' at /Users/jesse/src/puppet/tmp/test.pp:2:8 It would be great if we could make the syntax error a little more specific.
