Just for community awareness, there appears to be a breaking interaction 
between this latest Puppet release and rspec-puppet. 

Tests are failing with 'no implicit conversion of nil into String'. 
Already raised on PL tracker as PUP-8418 [1], and I've just raised against 
rspec-puppet [2]. 

So for anyone with unbounded CI/CD pipelines, probably best to pin Puppet 
to 5.3.3 until the interaction is fixed.
