Issue #5220 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
Status changed from Investigating to Accepted
The behavior around this has been changed by the fix for #15264. The error
message generated is still not that helpful to diagnose the actual error in
this case, but at least it doesn't complain about a method call on Array.
The issue can easily be reproduced by creating a type that is:
<pre>
> cat ~/.puppet/modules/testing/lib/puppet/type/testing.rb
Puppet.newtype(:testing) do
end
</pre>
And then the issue shows up as:
<pre>
> puppet apply -e "testing { h: }"
Error: No set of title patterns matched the title "h".
</pre>
Which before the fix to #15264 was:
<pre>
> puppet apply -e "testing { h: }"
Error: undefined method `merge' for []:Array
</pre>
I'm moving this back into accepted since it has no current activity on it.
