Issue #7991 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Branch set to 
https://github.com/mmrobins/puppet/commit/9292d4c998296fd5aa631adb9c235b1f0c4e4204

This looks like a duplicate of #4549, code found here 
https://github.com/mmrobins/puppet/commit/9292d4c998296fd5aa631adb9c235b1f0c4e4204

It looks like that was merged, but I can't find a trace of it in the tree, 
which is odd.  We will retest that, and remerge it shortly.

Bug #7991: Issue with using custom functions in templates.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7991

Author: Trevor Vaughan
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: parser
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0
Keywords: custom function, template

To use a custom function in a template, you must do something like the 
following:

`$var = inline_template("<%= Puppet::Parser::Functions::function('myfunction'); 
'' %><%= scope.function_myfunction(options) %>")`

Furthermore, to make this work in any order, you must stick something like the 
following in your code:

`if false { myfunction('blah') }`

However, if you do this *anywhere at all*, you can no longer do the following:

`$var = myfunction('foo')`

Why? I have no idea! But it certainly doesn't seem like it should work this way.

Seems to affect all Puppet versions that I've tried. <= 2.6.6
