Jira (PUP-2357) Validation missing for meaningless sequences

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg created an issue   Puppet / PUP-2357 Validation missing for meaningless sequences Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Andy Parker Components: DSL Created: 24/Apr/14 7:38 AM Fix Versions: 3.7.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Henrik Lindberg There is currently no validation of the future parser's result wrt. evaluation of meaningless sequences. If user enters: 1 2 3 hello goodbye The evaluator will just "do what it is told", and produce a 1, then a 2, etc. The only place were a "side effect free" _expression_ may appear is as the last _expression_ in a sequence / block as this is the produced value of an _expression_. The importance of this validation has increased since the future parser (since 3.6) handles calls without parentheses as reserved for a handful of built in "calls" (i.e. 'include', 'require', etc.). Thus, if users have code where calls without parentheses are used they are not informed about this issue - i.e. their code turned into a "side effect free sequence" that is just silently evaluated.
