Issue #19474 has been updated by Andrew Parker.

Relating this to #21409 since I think the root of both of them is that 
`create_resources` instantiates resources quite differently from the language.

----------------------------------------
Bug #19474: Using create_resource or some other Ruby methodology for creating 
resources allows for invalid resource references

----------------------------------------
See #17842 for an example of this:

<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17842#note-5>

The problem is that this is invalid in the parser:

    file { '/tmp/foo':
      ensure => present,
      require => [ Mymodule::foo['bar'] ],
    }

But this works successfully:

    create_resources('file', { 
'/usr/local/homeaway/api-favorites-ustst1-jdk/java' => { ensure => present, 
require => "Mymodule::foo[bar]" }})

However, in PuppetDB we are more strict and the second case fails with an 
invalid relationship error - we can fix the error message on our end, but this 
still shouldn't be allowed I believe.

The question is - should this be fixed in the internals so people tapping 
resource creation (like within create_resources) get an error or something 
else? Or perhaps fixed in create_resources? Its basically just an inconsistency 
between that methodology and what the parser enforces.
