Issue #5220 has been updated by Matt Robinson.
Assignee changed from Dan Bode to Matt Robinson
I just ran into this while testing too and would like to resolve it because
it's a pain to track down, but am not sure of the correct behavior.
You can also get around this error by declaring a name parameter for your type.
Puppet.newtype('blond') do
newparam(:name)
end
Should types be required to declare a namevar or at least the parameter name?
If so, then we should probably raise an error when the type is declared. This
seems likely to me. My understanding of namevar is that it's like a primary
key for resources, so we should almost certainly have one.
If not then, something probably needs to be fixed in the area of
lib/puppet/resource.rb in the parse_title method or in lib/puppet/type.rb
title_patterns method so that a hash is returned instead of an array.
----------------------------------------
Bug #5220: when namevar is not specified for a type, error message is
'undefined method `merge' for []:Array'
