Issue #2822 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
When I try either version (Alan's or Thomas's) I get a
Parameter path failed: File paths must be fully qualified, not ''
error (which also does not include the file and line number). Likewise, there
are other tickets reporting the same issue with other error messages; what we
need is a more general solution.

Bug #2822: Unhelpful error message when an undefined variable is used in a
resource title
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2822
Author: Alan Barrett
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Markus Roberts
Category: error reporting
Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords:
Branch:
When a resource is defined using an undefined variable, the error message is
unhelpful.
For example:
<pre>
class myclass {
$var = "/wherever/somefile"
file { $wrong_var:
ensure => file,
}
}
</pre>
gives an error message like
<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson:
Could not convert from pson: Could not find relationship target ''
</pre>
After applying the patch from issue #2770, the error messsage is slightly
improved:
<pre>
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson:
Could not convert from pson: Could not find relationship target "File[]"
</pre>
but there's still no indication of which line in which class in which manifest
caused the problem.
