Ashley, thanks, that fixes the $y case.
But the actual problem for me is the $x case:
I don't expect it to error, I expect it to return something that is not True -
the "if $x" check should fail, not succeed.
----------------------------------------
Bug #15448: scope.lookupvar('any variable') is always TRUE.

Even when such a variable doesn't exist or hasn't been defined.
Consider the following script:
<pre>
$ cat z.pp
$x = inline_template( "<% if scope.lookupvar('foo') %>foo <%=
scope.lookupvar('foo') -%><% end %>" )
$y = inline_template( "<% if scope.lookupvar('foo').length > 0 %>foo <%=
scope.lookupvar('foo') -%><% end %>" )
notice( "x: $x" )
notice( "y: $y" )
</pre>
I'd expect both notices to NOT print out "foo". However, the "x:" line does:
<pre>
$ sudo puppet z.pp
notice: Scope(Class[main]): x: foo
notice: Scope(Class[main]): y:
</pre>
If the scope.lookupvar is omitted, and just <% if foo %> is used, this throws a
puppet error,
which is not desired, but much more along the lines of expectation.
<pre>
Failed to parse inline template: Could not find value for 'foo' at z.pp:1 on
node ...
</pre>
