That would be because I gave you an entirely broken example :)
define appendifnosuchline($file="", $line="") {
exec { "appendline_${file}_${line}":
path => "/bin:/usr/bin",
command => "/bin/echo ${line} >> ${file}",
unless => "grep -qx ${line} ${file}",
}
}
appendifnosuchline { "ensure_foobar_in_filetest":
file => "/tmp/filetest",
line => "foobar",
}
