Feature #21117: Improve error message for illegal hash keys
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21117
* Author: Charlie Sharpsteen
* Status: Unreviewed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Henrik Lindberg
* Category: parser
* Target version:
* Affected Puppet version: 3.2.1
* Keywords:
* Branch:
----------------------------------------
Currently using an illegal hash key, such as a resource reference, results in a
rather cryptic error message:
<pre>
puppet apply -e '$my_var = {Some_thing => "hai"}'
Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
'Some_thing'; expected '}' at line 1 on node puppetmaster.boxnet
Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
'Some_thing'; expected '}' at line 1 on node puppetmaster.boxnet
</pre>
As discussed in #14704, this could be dramatically improved to something like
"Illegal hash key – a QualifiedReference is not a valid hash key".
