The intention is for the the service running state after boot to be
optionally handled by puppet. Omitting the ensure parameter does this,
but why can't I add it when I need it like this?

service { "$my_module::params::myServiceName":

       ensure  => "$my_module::my_service_ensure_running",
     }
     enable  => 'true',
     require => [ Package["$oscar_legacy::params::mysqlPackageName"],
File["/etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqld_oscar_dbs.cnf"] ],
   }

puppet parser validate {}
complains as so:

Error: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
'::my_service_ensure_running'; expected '}' at
/home/oscara/git/puppetmaster/modules/my_module/manifests/init.pp:154

the "if" is a statement that cannot be used inside a resource definition.

Write it like this:

  service { "$my_module::params::myServiceName":
    enable  => 'true',
    require => [ ...]
  }

  if $::my_service_ensure_running != 'undef' {
    Service["$my_module::params::myServiceName"]{
      ensure  => $::my_service_ensure_running,
    }
  }

See the Puppet Language Reference (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_conditional.html) for details.
