Bug #11051: Unrecognised escape sequence '\`' in file (escaped backtick in 
manifest)
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11051

Keywords: puppet escape sequence backtick
Branch: 


We are developing MySQL recipes to make Puppet create and manage databases.
In order to create a MySQL database the database-name needs to be surrounded by 
backticks:

exec { "database-${dbname}":
  command => "/usr/bin/mysql -uroot -p${mysql_password} -e \"create database 
\`${dbname}\`;\"",
  unless  => "/usr/bin/mysql -uroot -p${mysql_password} -e \"show databases\" 
|/bin/grep ^${dbname}$",
  require =>  Class["mysql::server"],
} 

The catalogs runs fine, and the MySQL database is nicely created on the node.
The problem is that the PuppetMaster complains about an unrecognised escape 
sequence:

'\`' in file /etc/puppet/prod/modules/mysql/manifests/database.pp at line 15
