Issue #12557 has been updated by Chris Price.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating
Assignee set to Chris Price
Can you provide a full manifest that demonstrates this? I tried creating a
file test.pp with these contents:
<pre>
define deploy::php_dev {
}
deploy::php_dev { "02" }
</pre>
and then ran:
<pre>
$ puppet apply ./test.pp
<b>Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '}' at
/home/cprice/work/puppet/git/puppet/scratch/12557.pp:4 on node
cosmicshame.puppetlabs.lan</b>
</pre>
Which, while not as complete an error message as we would prefer or as you are
suggesting, at least isn't quite so misleading.

Bug #12557: Inaccurate error message when calling a defined function without
colon after $name
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12557#change-54683
Author: zach armstrong
Status: Investigating
Priority: Low

Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9
Keywords:
Branch:
Calling a function, like
<pre>deploy::php_dev { "02" } </pre>
throws this error: `err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error
400 on SERVER: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at '}';
expected '}' at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:72`
It should say `expected ':'`
