Issue #10291 has been updated by Oliver Hookins.

I would expect either the non-breaking space to be handled as a regular space 
token, and failing that (if that is deemed as incorrect behaviour and therefore 
not fixable) a reasonable error message e.g. unknown token.

Bug #10291: Puppet manifests fail when UTF-8 non-breaking space (0xc2a0) is 
used as whitespace
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10291

Author: Oliver Hookins
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Oliver Hookins
Category: utf8
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords: 
Branch: 


<code>
err: Could not parse for environment production: Could not match  Yum::Repo at 
/home/ohookins/svn/redacted/repo.pp:4
</code>

The actual code is unremarkable, but the problem is here:

<code>
00000020  20 7b 0a 20 c2 a0 59 75  6d 3a 3a 52 65 70 6f 20  | {. ..Yum::Repo |
00000030  7b 0a 20 c2 a0 c2 a0 c2  a0 6d 65 74 61 64 61 74  |{. ......metadat|
</code>

Somehow we've ended up with a UTF8 "nbsp" in our manifest (the 0xc2a0). Sure, I 
can just remove these characters but it suggests to me that perhaps the Unicode 
support in the parser is incomplete, which is a larger problem for 
internationalisation.
