Issue #16497 has been reported by eric sorenson.
----------------------------------------
Bug #16497: Puppet should be more defensive about resources whose titles are
undefined variables
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16497
Author: eric sorenson
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: language
Target version:
Affected Puppet version:
Keywords: undef
Branch:
There are a variety of inelegant failure modes when using variables either
directly or via string-interpolation as titles for resources.
This might go back to #5820 and the recurring idea of an equivalent mode in
puppet to perl's 'use strict', where using undef variables throws specific
errors, but at the very least, code like this:
<pre>
$foo = undef
package { $foo: ensure => present }
</pre>
Should not result in output like this:
<pre>
Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install undef' returned 1: You
need to be root to perform this command.
</pre>
