Issue #1652 has been updated by Mark Frost.
I just ran into this issue myself, on 2.7.12. Looks like it's still lingering.
I was trying to use the "range" function that comes with puppetlabs_stdlib to
create a large number of resources semi-automagically. As such:
bacula::vchanger::device {
range("0", "45"):
}
And encountered the exact error reported by the OP.
Reassigning the value to a variable first changed the error message, but still
didn't work. The new error was:
Failed to parse template bacula/device.erb: undefined method `empty?' for
1:Fixnum

This is a bug; the resource name is apparently set up to be more
restrictive than it needs to be.
