Description
if one uses $name or $title as a define/class parameter you get a useful error that states that they are built in parameters:
Error: The parameter $name redefines a built in parameter in the 'define' expression at /opt/puppet-git-repos/puppet/deftst.pp:2:3
|
Error: The parameter $title redefines a built in parameter in the 'define' expression at /opt/puppet-git-repos/puppet/deftst.pp:3:3
|
Error: The parameter $name redefines a built in parameter in the Host Class Definition at /opt/puppet-git-repos/puppet/deftst.pp:11:3
|
Error: The parameter $title redefines a built in parameter in the Host Class Definition at /opt/puppet-git-repos/puppet/deftst.pp:12:3
|
Error: Found 4 errors. Giving up

but if you try to use $name and $title otherwise it is a bit less useful and opaque to the user:
[root@plgf5s85ojlj8m1 puppet]# puppet apply -e '$title = "lol" $name = "wut"'
